Lower Neck

A case report of ectopic salivary gland tissue in the lower neck is presented. This rare lesion should be included in the differential diagnosis of draining sinuses in the neck. It arises most probably by heteroplasia within remnants of the second branchial cleft. The clinical picture is one of drainage of clear secretion from a sinus in the lower anterolateral neck usually without a history of pain or infection. It shares several clinical features with the more commonly occurring branchial fistula, but it may be distinguished by its appearance on an x-ray contrast study. A correct preoperative diagnosis makes removal more simple and direct.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with several systemic vascular symptoms and xerostomia. It is considered that hyperglycemia-induced polyuria and dehydration cause decreased body-water volume, leading to decreased saliva secretion and, ultimately, xerostomia. In T2DM, increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes tissue damage to vascular endothelial cells as well as epithelial tissue, including pancreas and cornea. Hence, a similar phenomenon may occur in other tissues and glands in a hyperglycemic environment. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Salivary gland tissue injury was examined, using T2DM model mouse (db/db). Transferase‐mediated dUTP nick‐end labeling (TUNEL) was conducted to evaluate tissue injury. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio were measured as indicator of oxidative stress. Moreover, in vitro ROS production and cell injury was evaluated by mouse salivary gland-derived normal cells under high-glucose condition culture. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In vivo and in vitro analysis showed a higher percentage of TUNEL-positive cells and higher levels of MDA and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine in salivary gland tissue of db/db mice. This suggests damage of saliva secretion-associated lipids and DNA by hyperglycemic-induced oxidative stress. To analyze the mechanism by which hyperglycemia promotes ROS production, mouse salivary gland-derived cells were isolated. The cell culture with high-glucose medium enhanced ROS production and promotes apoptotic and necrotic cell death. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> These findings suggest a novel mechanism whereby hyperglycemic-induced ROS production promotes salivary gland injury, resulting in hyposalivation.

Objective.To determine an appropriate focus score cutoff for childhood Sjögren syndrome (SS).Methods.Labial salivary gland tissue from specimens from children with SS and age-matched controls was retrospectively identified and reviewed by a blinded oral pathologist.Results.The presence of any focal sialadenitis (focus score > 0 foci/4 mm2) was common among childhood SS samples but present in only 1 of 8 control samples.Conclusion.The presence of any focal lymphocytic sialadenitis in minor labial salivary gland tissue is suggestive of childhood SS and should be included in future childhood SS-specific diagnostic or classification criteria.
