Abstract
Sclerosing polycystic adenoma (SPA) is a rare neoplastic salivary gland lesion with only about 100 cases reported worldwide so far. The lesion is confused with several malignant and other benign tumors such as apocrine intraductal carcinoma (IC), salivary duct carcinoma (SDC), chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, polycystic dysgenetic disease (PDD), pleomorphic adenoma (PA), acinic cell carcinoma (ACC), and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). We present a case of SPA for a 23-year-old male patient presenting with a slowly growing parotid mass. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) followed by total excision of the tumor was performed and the picture was consistent with SPA. We discuss the findings of the case and briefly review the literature on SPA.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of the National Society for Histotechnology, Journal of Histotechnology, aims to advance the understanding of complex biological systems and improve patient care by applying histotechniques to diagnose, prevent and treat diseases.
Journal of Histotechnology is concerned with educating practitioners and researchers from diverse disciplines about the methods used to prepare tissues and cell types, from all species, for microscopic examination. This is especially relevant to Histotechnicians.
Journal of Histotechnology welcomes research addressing new, improved, or traditional techniques for tissue and cell preparation. This includes review articles, original articles, technical notes, case studies, advances in technology, and letters to editors.
Topics may include, but are not limited to, discussion of clinical, veterinary, and research histopathology.
