    1. Salivary Glands Prof. Fuad Ammari Paired salivary glands: Parotid & Submandibular Minor salivary glands: Widely distributed in the mucosa of The lips, cheeks, hard & soft palate, uvula, floor of the mouth, tongue & peritonsillar area A few are found in the nasoph., paranasal sinuses, larynx, trachea, bronchi & lacrimal glands.

    3. Type of cells There are 3 main types of cells that are found in the major salivary glands: Serous cells, which are pyramidal in shape and are joined to usually form a spherical mass of cells called acinus, with a small lumen in the centre. Serous demilunes are found in the submandibular gland.

    4. Type of cells Mucous cells are usually cuboid in shape and organised as tubules, consisting of cylindrical arrays of secretory cells surrounding a lumen. These cells produce glycoproteins that are used for the moistening and lubricating functions of saliva. Myoepithelial cells surround each secretory portion and are able to contract to accelerate secretion of the saliva.

    5. Functions About 1500ml of saliva is produced each day It facilitates swallowing It keeps the mouth moist & aids speech It serves as a solvent for molecules which stimulate the taste buds It cleans the mouth, gum, & teeth. It contains ptylin, an enzyme which breaks-down starch

    6. Diseases of the salivary glands INFLY: Acute parotitis, TB., Mumps, Actinomycosis, cat scratch disease OBST. : Sialolithiasis, Sjogren’s, stricture. NEOPLASMS: I. Epithelial tumours A. Adenomas: pleomorphic (mixed) & monomorphic e.g. basal cell adenoma, oncocytoma & adeno-lymphoma.

    7. Sal. Gl. neoplasms B. Mucoepidermoid C. Acinic cell tumour D.Carcinoma: Carcinoma in a mixed t., adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated ca., adenoid cystic ca., & epidermoid ca. high grade mucoepidermoid ca. II. Nonepithelial tumours

    8. Sjogren's Syndrome Autoimmune Diseases - Etiology - collagen vascular disease Signs and Symptoms -keratoconjunctivitis sicca, xerostomia, and a connective tissue disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Enlargement of salivary and lacrimal glands, often with recurrent sialoadenitis

    9. Sjogren's Syndrome Diagnosis - biopsy of salivary glands, usually the lower lip, shows lymphoreticular hyperplasia Treatment Treat recurrent infection May develop a superimposed malignancy. Therefore, if a mass appears, surgical excision is needed.

    10. Acute suppurative sialadenitis It is an ascending infection (Staph. Aureus & strept. viridans) from the oral cavity predisposed by a reduction in salivary flow or partial obstruction Following major surgical operations due to dehydration & poor oral hygiene

    11. Sialadenitis During deblitating illnesses e.g Cholera or Typhoid fever. Following radiotherapy Sjogren’s syndrome.

    12. Ac. Sup. Sial. Clinically: Brawny swelling on the side of the face, in advanced cases the skin becomes dusky red. Taking the shape of the parotid gl. It raises the lobule of the ear. Temp. is usually well above 37.8’C.

    13. Ac. Sup. Sial. Fluctuation occurs only after pus has penetrated the dense fascia of the parotid sheath. Pus can be expressed from the parotid duct and taken for C&S. Sialogram following resolution of symptoms to asses salivary function Meticulous oral hygiene. .

    14. Sialadenitis Dentures are worn only at meal time Improve the general state of the patient. Antibiotics “broad spectrum antibiotics”. Soft diet & plenty of fluids are taken as chewing is painful. Message the gland, if not improved incision & drainage is essential.

    15. Ranula A sialocele of the floor of the mouth Types Circumscribed - obstruction and cystic dilatation of sublingual gland or submandibular duct. Plunging - extravasations of saliva into tissues of the floor of the mouth. May extend deep into floor of the mouth

    16. Ranula Signs and Symptoms - cystic sub mucosal mass in the floor of the mouth; may periodically shrink with discharge of contents into mouth Treatment Circumscribed cyst may be excised, along with involved gland or glands Plunging ranulas cannot be excised and should be marsupialized

    17. Branchial Cleft Cysts branchial cysts is a remnant of branchial cleft , usually the second cleft, less commonly it is First branchial cleft cysts present as cysts or draining sinuses in pre auricular area Type I cysts track deep into parotid along Ext. Aud. Canal. Type II cysts track deep into parotid and are intimately involved with facial nerve Treatment-surgical excision

    18. HIV associated sialadenitis Children recurrent chronic parotitis. Adults sicca syndrome dry mouth, dry eyes. Lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary glands ‘enlarged salivary & lymph glands. Similar to Sjögren’s syndrome. Multiple painless parotid cystic lesions. Surgery may be indicated for appearance.

    19. Salivary calculi The submandibular (SM) calculi are the most common and easy to demonstrate by XR. Swelling and pain; dull ache radiate to the ear, before or during eating last through the meal. Pain goes away before swelling. Recurrent painful swelling at mealtime especially lemon

    20. Salivary calculi Hx of symptoms on the other side due to bilateral calculi Pressure on the gland may give foul tasting saliva (purulent saliva) Acute & subacute infection may be the first indication of a stone. Persistent obstruction damages the gland making it harder and tender

    21. Salivary calculi The SM gland lies beneath the horizontal ramus of the mandible on the mylohyoid muscle anterior to the anterior border of the sternomastoid Skin is red, edematous ,hot and tender if infected Bimanual palpation one finger inside the mouth and others on the skin over the lump.

    22. Calculi Calculi are radio-opaque, can be seen on plain XR Sialography is necessary to demonstrate the lumen of the ducts for stone, tumor, or stricture.

    23. Calculi Calculi within the duct may be removed through the floor of the mouth Excision of the gland where the stone is within the gland or the gland is severely damaged by chronic infection.

    24. Salivary neoplasms Parotid gl. 75% of all salivary t., 80% are benign and 80% of the benign are pleo-morphic ad. Sub mand. gl. 15% of all salivary t., 60% are benign and 95% of the benign are pleomorphic ad. Minor salivary gl. 10% of all salivary t., only 40% are benign pleomorhic ad.

    25. Pleomorphic adenoma The most common salivary tumor. In middle aged & more in women than in men, Slowly growing benign tumor but strands or lobules of the tumor tends to penetrate the thin capsule and extend beyond the main limits of the mass (enucleation is inadequate).

    26. Pleomorphic adenoma Histopathology: Epit.cells proliferate in strands or duct like Myoepith. cells proliferate in sheets with the production of a mucoid material which separate the cells producing a myxomatous appearance cartilage like.

    27. Pleom. ad. Cystic areas may appear due to excessive mucoid accumulation. After many years ( 10-30) few tumors may exhibit malignancy(ca in pleom. ad.) Treatment of benign t. is by superficial parotidectomy.

    28. Adenolymphoma (Warthin’s tumor) A benign tumor. It is formed of a double layered epithelium. Spaces or cysts, with papillary like app. The stroma contains lymphoid tissues and follicles Slowly enlarging soft or fluctuant swelling.

    29. Adenolymphoma usually toward the lower pole (10% of parotid t.), can be multiple and bilateral. Mostly in middle aged or elderly males. It form a hot spot in a 99mTc-pertechnetate Treated by superficial parotidectomy

    30. Mucoepidermoid tumor It is composed of sheets and masses of epidermoid cells and cystic spaces lined by mucus secreting cells (no cartilage like app) They are of varying speed of growth and degree of differentiation. Mostly they are slow growing and invade local tissues to a limited degree. Only occasionally grow rapidly and metastasize to lymph nodes, lungs or skin.

    31. Mucoep. t. Clinically they are usually harder than mixed t., yet become fixed when large. Mostly they do not cause facial paralysis FNA Superficial parotidectomy and radiotherapy may be advisable

    32. Carcinomas It tends to produce obvious clinical signs of malignancy at an early stage Hard, rapidly growing infiltrating mass Fixation, resorption of adjacent bone & ulceration

    33. Carcinoma Pain, anesthesia, muscle spasm and later paralysis in the case of parotid ca. FNA cytology CT scan. Radical excision, block dissection & radiotherapy
