Distant metastases to the submandibular gland—WHO, WHEN and WHAT
Introduction
Metastases to the salivary glands mostly originate from squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region, followed by melanomas, and they comprise 5% of all salivary gland tumors. In this study, we present a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the submandibular gland parenchyma and aim at characterizing metastatic tumors of the submandibular gland.
Materials and methods
An online search was conducted through the PubMed, MEsH, and PMC databases. Included were studies and case reports that presented metastases of nonhead and neck cancers to the submandibular gland.
Results
A total of 42 cases of submandibular gland metastases were found. The majority (13, 30.9%) originated from a primary kidney tumor, followed by Lung (7, 16.6%) and breast (6, 14.2%) tumors. There was a strong female predilection with 1.8: 1 F:M ratio. The average age was 60.7+ years that ranged from 28 to 97 years. 26 (61.9%) of the patients were treated by excision of the affected gland. Twenty-six (61.9%) had follow-up survival data, with average survival of 19.48+ months post-treatment of the submandibular metastases. The submandibular metastases were the first sign of malignancy in 10 (23.8%) of the cases and first sign of diagnosed metastatic disease in 25 (59.5%) patients. Additional metastases were reported in 24 (57.1%) of the patients, while 4 (9.5%) patients presented with solitary submandibular metastases, and the rest (14, 33.3%) had no data regarding additional metastases.
Conclusion
Submandibular salivary gland metastases are rare. There is a non-negligible percentage of cases in which these metastases are the first signs of an undiagnosed distal malignancy and/or an undiagnosed metastatic disease.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
