Diseases of salivary glands is a very important topic in the final MBBS/ MS ENT exam.
Dr. Krishna Koirala has described the salivary gland diseases in a lucid way in this presentation.
The document discusses salivary gland disorders. It begins with definitions and classifications of salivary glands. It then discusses the anatomy, functions, and disorders of the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual salivary glands. Diagnostic aids are outlined including clinical history, physical examination, imaging such as CT, MRI, ultrasound and sialography. Cystic conditions of the minor salivary glands such as mucoceles are also summarized. Disorders are classified and inflammatory, obstructive, neoplastic and other conditions are described.
This document provides information on salivary gland diseases presented over multiple sessions. It begins with the objectives and overview of topics to be covered, including applied anatomy of the salivary glands, autonomic innervation and effects on function, inflammatory and obstructive disorders, neoplasms, and investigations. It then describes in detail the anatomy, physiology and investigations of the major salivary glands. Salivary gland diseases are classified as functional, obstructive, non-neoplastic and neoplastic. Specific conditions like sialadenitis, sialolithiasis, mucocele and ranula are explained. Imaging modalities like ultrasound, sialography, CT, MRI and sialendoscopy
Sialolithiasis refers to the formation of calcific stones within the salivary glands or ducts. The submandibular gland is most commonly affected. Clinical features include intermittent pain and swelling near the affected gland during or after meals. Investigations like radiography can detect radiopaque stones, while sialography or CT scans provide further detail. Treatment depends on stone location but may involve gland massage, duct incision or excision, or endoscopic stone removal procedures.
This document summarizes different types of salivary gland disorders including developmental, functional, obstructive, cysts, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Developmental disorders include abnormalities like aplasia, hyperplasia, and atresia. Functional disorders involve increased or decreased salivary secretion known as sialorrhea and xerostomia. Obstructive disorders are due to blockages like sialolithiasis. Cysts include mucoceles and ranulas. Infections can be viral, bacterial, or mycotic. Autoimmune disorders include Sjogren's syndrome and Mikulicz's disease. The document also discusses diagnostic tools like sialography used to evaluate salivary gland

Sialolithiasis refers to calcified structures that develop within the salivary glands or ductal system. The document discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of sialolithiasis. It notes that 80-92% of sialoliths occur in the submandibular gland, which has an abundant calcium concentration and alkaline pH that promotes stone formation. Diagnosis involves imaging like sialography, ultrasound or CT scan to detect radiopaque stones. Treatment options include surgical removal of stones, sialoendoscopy or shockwave lithotripsy depending on the size and location of the sialolith.
This document provides information on tumors of the salivary glands. It discusses the anatomy and histology of salivary glands, classification of salivary gland tumors, and specifics on certain tumor types including pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor.

Sialolithiasis is the presence of calculi or stones in the salivary glands or ducts, which typically form due to stagnation of saliva rich in calcium. Risk factors include medications like diuretics, dehydration, gout, smoking, and chronic periodontal disease. Clinical features range from being asymptomatic to intermittent facial swelling associated with eating that can be painful or painless. Diagnosis involves ultrasound or radiographs of the affected gland. Most cases are managed conservatively with hydration and sialagogues. If infected, antibiotics may be used. Definitive management includes interventional radiology procedures to extract stones or surgery to remove difficult stones or the entire gland if symptoms persist chron
This document discusses sialolithiasis, which is the formation of salivary stones in the salivary ducts or glands. Sialoliths are calcified masses that form from the crystallization of salivary minerals. Sialolithiasis most commonly occurs in the submandibular gland due to anatomical factors. Clinically, patients experience pain and swelling during or after eating. Investigations like radiographs and sialography can detect sialoliths. Larger stones may be removed surgically through the duct or gland. Complications include inflammation, duct dilation, and gland atrophy if left untreated.
The document discusses various salivary gland disorders including infections, inflammatory conditions, cysts, tumors and other pathologies. It provides details on:
- Acute and chronic bacterial sialadenitis, most commonly caused by retrograde infection from the mouth. Acute infections more often affect the parotid gland.
- Viral infections like mumps can cause acute non-suppurative sialadenitis. Mumps is spread through droplets and involves the parotid glands.
- Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune condition characterized by lymphocytic destruction of exocrine glands causing dry mouth and eyes. Diagnosis involves labial biopsy.
- Common benign sal
Ludwig's angina is an acute, potentially life-threatening infection of the submandibular space that causes severe swelling and difficulty opening the mouth or swallowing. It usually stems from dental infections. Clinical features include bilateral swelling of the submandibular region, elevated tongue, and difficulty speaking or swallowing. Management involves securing the airway through tracheostomy or intubation, administering IV antibiotics, and incising and draining any abscesses through bilateral submandibular and submental incisions. Early diagnosis, antibiotic treatment, and surgical drainage are crucial for successful treatment.
The document summarizes information about periapical cysts, also known as radicular cysts or apical cysts. It defines a periapical cyst as an odontogenic cyst derived from cell rests of Malassez that proliferate in response to inflammation from pulpal necrosis. Periapical cysts typically present as round radiolucencies associated with the apex of a non-vital tooth. Histologically, they contain a lumen lined by stratified squamous epithelium and surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue wall. Treatment involves extraction of the involved tooth along with cyst enucleation or marsupialization.
Mucocele and ranula are lesions caused by the extravasation of mucus from salivary glands into surrounding tissues. Mucoceles are commonly caused by trauma that severs or obstructs salivary ducts, allowing mucus to pool in surrounding tissues. Ranulas specifically occur on the floor of the mouth associated with sublingual or submandibular gland ducts. Histologically, they consist of mucus-filled cavities surrounded by granulation tissue and inflammatory cells. Treatment involves complete surgical excision to prevent recurrence.
This document provides information on salivary gland diseases. It begins with the anatomy of the major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual) and minor salivary glands. It then discusses the embryology, microanatomy, and functions of saliva. The document outlines various non-neoplastic salivary gland disorders including sialectasis, ranulas, mucoceles, irradiation reactions, and necrotizing sialometaplasia. It provides details on diagnostic tests and treatments for conditions affecting the salivary glands.
The document discusses the anatomy and triangles of the neck, describing boundaries, contents, and clinical significance. It also covers common neck masses including cysts, sinuses, fistulas, ulcers, tumors, and infections. Lymphatic drainage is described for deep cervical nodes along vertical and circular chains.
Nasolabial cysts are soft tissue masses located under the ala nasi that contain fluid and are lined with epithelial tissue. They most commonly occur in females and are always extraosseous. Historically, Klestadt first proposed the inclusion theory that these cysts arise from entrapped tissue within nasolabial fissures. Imaging such as CT scans can identify nasolabial cysts without displacement of upper teeth. Surgical excision via sublabial approach is the ideal treatment.
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the parotid gland. It consists of both epithelial cells and spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells within an abundant mucoid matrix. On pathology, it displays well-differentiated epithelial cells and spindle/stellate cells in a pleomorphic stroma with mucoid material. The tumor presents as a slow-growing, painless swelling of the parotid gland and is diagnosed by FNAC. The treatment is complete surgical excision via superficial parotidectomy while preserving the facial nerve. Recurrence is possible if there are pseudopods left behind or inadequate margins. Malignant transformation may occur in long-standing tumors.
This document discusses various causes of midline neck swellings, including congenital, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic etiologies. It provides details on specific conditions such as thyroglossal duct cyst, laryngocele, Ludwig's angina, sublingual dermoid cyst, reactive lymphadenopathy, thyroid disorders, and laryngeal malignancy. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause but may include antibiotics, incision and drainage, surgery, radiotherapy, or a combination of therapies.
Mucoceles are benign cysts caused by mucus extravasation or retention from minor salivary glands. When located in the floor of the mouth, they are called ranulas. Ranulas present as smooth, blue, dome-shaped swellings that can enlarge and elevate the tongue. Treatment involves complete surgical excision of the cyst wall and sublingual gland to prevent recurrence, while preserving nearby nerves like the lingual nerve. Plunging ranulas extend behind the mylohyoid muscle into the neck.
This document discusses salivary gland diseases. It begins by describing the normal anatomy and function of the major and minor salivary glands. It then discusses various diseases affecting the salivary glands including inflammatory conditions like sialadenitis, infections, salivary stones, cysts, tumors, and dysfunction. Specific conditions covered in more detail include mumps, sialolithiasis, Sjogren's syndrome, mucocele, necrotizing sialometaplasia, pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumor, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and adenoid cystic carcinoma. The document provides information on clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment for each condition.
This document discusses infections of the submandibular space, which is divided into two compartments by the mylohyoid muscle. Dental infections are the most common cause, with roots above or below the mylohyoid muscle leading to sublingual or submaxillary infections, respectively. Symptoms include odynophagia, trismus, and swelling of the submental and submandibular regions. Treatment involves systemic antibiotics, incision and drainage of any abscesses either intraorally or externally, and tracheostomy if the airway is endangered. Complications can arise from spread of infection or airway obstruction.

The document discusses various developmental anomalies, diseases, and conditions that can affect the salivary glands. It describes abnormalities such as aberrant salivary glands, aplasia, hypoplasia, accessory ducts, and diverticuli. It also discusses specific conditions like sialolithiasis, mucoceles, mumps, sialadenitis, and Sjogren's syndrome that can cause inflammation or swelling of the salivary glands. Benign and malignant tumors are also addressed as common salivary gland conditions.
This document provides information on salivary gland tumors. It discusses the incidence, etiology, risk factors, origin, WHO histological classifications of 1991 and 2005, TNM classification and staging system, clinical features of benign and malignant tumors, and management of common tumors such as pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumor, acinic cell carcinoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Key points include that pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor, while mucoepidermoid carcinoma has the highest malignancy. Clinical features of benign tumors include slow growth and lack of fixation or pain, while malignant tumors often cause pain, facial nerve involvement, and metastasis. Surgical excision is the primary treatment for benign tumors
1. Caldwell Luc surgery (CWS) is over 120 years old and remains an important procedure for ENT surgeons. It involves making a window in the anterior maxillary bone to access and treat diseases of the maxillary sinus.
2. Indications for CWS include chronic maxillary sinusitis, cysts and polyps in the sinus, and benign or malignant tumors. Contraindications are acute infections and performing it in children due to risk of damaging developing teeth.
3. The procedure involves making a U-shaped incision over the canine fossa, removing bone to create a window, excising the sinus lining and lesions, debriding, irrigating, placing a drain, and packing with
This document discusses odontomas, which are benign odontogenic tumors composed of dental tissue like enamel, dentin, and pulp. There are two main types: compound odontomas, which appear like small tooth structures, and complex odontomas, which have a disorganized appearance. Odontomas are usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on x-rays during dental exams. On x-rays, they appear as radiopaque masses surrounded by a radiolucent rim. Treatment involves simple surgical removal, with an excellent prognosis and no recurrence.
This document provides information about erythroplakia, including its definition, clinical features, pathogenesis, histopathology, diagnosis, management, and malignant potential. Erythroplakia is defined as a solitary red lesion that cannot be characterized clinically or pathologically as any other condition. It has a high risk of malignant transformation, ranging from 14-50%. Diagnosis involves clinical examination and biopsy. Management includes removing causative factors, chemoprevention with antioxidants, and surgical excision with long-term follow-up due to the high recurrence risk.

The parapharyngeal space is a potential space located in the neck that contains important structures like the carotid artery and cranial nerves. Tumors in this space can be benign or malignant, with the most common types being salivary gland tumors in the prestyloid space and neurogenic tumors in the retrostyloid space. Imaging like CT and MRI are used to determine the location and characteristics of the tumor. Surgical excision is typically the primary treatment, with the surgical approach depending on factors like size and involvement of surrounding structures. Observation or radiation therapy may be options for certain patients who cannot undergo surgery.
1) Carcinoma of the penis has a higher incidence in South America, East Africa, and South East Asia. Risk factors include HPV infection, phimosis, smoking, and lack of circumcision.
2) Early stage lesions include erythroplasia of Queyrat, Bowen's disease, balanitis xerotica obliterans, and giant condyloma acuminatum. Advanced lesions are staged using the TNM system.
3) Treatment depends on the stage but may include local excision, circumcision, partial or total penectomy. Sentinel lymph node biopsy helps determine if inguinal lymphadenectomy is needed.
Salivary gland tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are more common and include pleomorphic adenomas, Warthin's tumors, and oncocytomas. These typically present as slow-growing masses in the parotid or submandibular glands. Malignant tumors are less common but can be diagnosed based on symptoms like rapid growth, pain, nerve palsies, or lymph node involvement. The most common sites for minor salivary gland tumors are the hard palate and other areas of the oral cavity. A thorough examination is needed to determine if a salivary gland tumor is benign or malignant.

Parapharyngeal tumors ug - 01.08.2016 - prof.s.gobalakrishnanophthalmgmcri
Primary parapharyngeal tumors are rare, accounting for 0.5% of head and neck tumors. The parapharyngeal space is divided into prestyloid and poststyloid compartments by the tensor-vascular-styloid fascia. Salivary gland neoplasms, especially pleomorphic adenoma, are the most common primary tumors in the prestyloid space, while schwannomas and paragangliomas are more common in the poststyloid space. Imaging with CT and MRI is important for localization and characterization of tumors. Surgical approaches are tailored based on tumor location but often involve a cervical or combined cervical-parotid approach.

This document provides an outline on sinonasal tumours. It discusses the relevant anatomy, epidemiology, classification, clinical features, investigations, staging, treatment and complications of sinonasal tumours. It notes that sinonasal tumours comprise a diverse group of benign and malignant neoplasms that often present non-specifically, leading to delays in diagnosis and management. The document outlines the different tumour types, their characteristics, staging systems used and multidisciplinary treatment approaches involving surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Early detection and management is emphasized for improving patient outcomes.
Benign salivary gland tumor BY DR. C. P. ARYA (B.Sc. B.D.S.; M.D.S.; P.M.S.; ...DR. C. P. ARYA
This document provides an overview of benign tumors of the salivary glands. It discusses the structure and types of salivary glands, defines neoplasms and covers the TNM classification system for staging salivary gland tumors. Specific benign tumor types are then described in more detail, including pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumor, oncocytoma, myoepithelioma and papillary cystadenoma. Diagnostic tools and treatment options such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are also summarized.
A neck mass can have many potential causes and requires a systematic evaluation. The differential diagnosis depends on factors like age, location, and associated symptoms. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a key diagnostic tool that can distinguish between inflammatory, congenital, infectious, and neoplastic etiologies. For suspicious masses, further imaging and biopsy may be needed to identify rare primary cancers or metastases from unknown primary sites. Proper diagnosis guides management, from watchful waiting to antibiotics to surgical excision or more extensive treatment.
Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening into the trachea through the neck. It has various indications including upper airway obstruction, respiratory insufficiency, retained secretions, and to facilitate anesthesia administration. A tracheostomy tube is inserted to maintain the airway. Complications can occur immediately during surgery, in the following days, or later. Tracheostomy tubes are available in various types and sizes suitable for different patients and clinical situations. Care of the tracheostomy involves regular tube changes, suctioning, dressing, and decannulation when no longer needed.
This document provides an overview of the anatomy of the ear and mastoid. It describes the three main subdivisions of the ear - external, middle, and inner ear. The external ear includes the pinna and external auditory canal. The middle ear contains the tympanic membrane, ossicles, and mastoid air cells. The inner ear is made up of the bony and membranous labyrinths housing the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals. It also details the structures and components within each subdivision, including nerves, muscles, and sensory organs involved in hearing and balance.
Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening into the trachea through the neck. It has evolved from a feared procedure to a commonly performed one for various airway issues and respiratory conditions. The document describes the history, indications, types of tracheostomy tubes used, procedure steps, potential complications and advantages/disadvantages. A tracheostomy aims to relieve upper airway obstruction and facilitate respiratory management but requires long term care and has risks of complications if not performed correctly.
Nasal Polyps are defined as pale, polypoidal, pedunculated , prolapsed sinus mucosa into the nose.
They cause nasal obstruction. Nasal allergy and infecions are proposed to be the most common etiological factors for nasal polyps.
This presentation explains in detail about every aspect of nasal polyps.
Allergic rhinitis is a very much prevalent condition in the community. This presentation hopes to spread a ray of hope in treating allergic and intrinsic rhinitis.
CSOM may lead to different complications. Although less common in developed countries, CSOM is common in developing and underdeveloped countries.
This presentation explains the complications of CSOM in details.
The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx. It is around 36mm long in adults and made of bone laterally and fibrocartilage medially. It opens with swallowing to equalize pressure and ventilate the middle ear. Dysfunction can cause ear infections and pressure issues. Evaluation involves tests like Valsalva, Toynbee maneuvers and tympanometry. Conditions like patulous Eustachian tube can also occur if it does not close properly.
Facial nerve is the nerve of facial expression. Facial nerve disorders can lead to ugly face. This presentation explains the facial nerve disorders in details.
This document discusses complications that can arise from chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). It notes that complications occur when infection spreads beyond the middle ear into surrounding structures. Multiple complications can occur in one-third of patients. Complications include mastoiditis, facial nerve paralysis, labyrinthine fistula, and various intracranial complications like meningitis, abscesses, and lateral sinus thrombosis. Treatment involves antibiotics and may require surgical intervention depending on the specific complication. Factors affecting the risk of complications include pathogen virulence, patient immune status, and access to medical care.
