Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Diagnosis of epidemic parotitis (EP) in typical cases of the disease is not difficult, which is explained by the salivary gland involvement characteristic of this infection. It is known that in the pathological process of ES, in addition to salivary glands, pancreas, testicles, etc. can be involved. At the same time, different authors assess the possibility of their isolated involvement ambiguously: either pancreatitis or orchitis are the only manifestations of mumps infection, or involvement of salivary glands in the pathological process is a mandatory component of ES and, therefore, involvement of other glands cannot be isolated.

ABSTRACT Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is a significantly rare benign salivary gland neoplasm that includes isomorphic basaloid cells. Presence of myoepithelial cell is a characteristic of this tumor. Basal cell adenoma accounts for only 1 to 2% of all salivary gland epithelial tumors. The goal of the paper is to report a rare case of tubular type of BCA arising from parotid gland and discuss its management. How to cite this article Shah PD, Mukherji S.

AbstractTuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to data from the World Health Organization, this disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Although it most commonly affects the lungs, tuberculosis can compromise any organ. The present study reports a rare case of vulvar tuberculosis in a postmenopausal woman with a history of asymptomatic pulmonary and pleural tuberculosis, with no prior documented contact with the bacillus. Diagnosis was based on vulvar lesion biopsies, with histological findings suggestive of infection and isolation of M. tuberculosis by microbiological culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) essays. The lesions reverted to normal after tuberculostatic therapy.

AbstractIntroduction:Salivary gland pathology in the paediatric population is rare and can present management challenges regarding both investigation and treatment.Method:Case report and review of available literature.Results:A seven-year-old, fit, well girl presented with a two-month history of a painless mass over the left parotid area. Ultrasonography confirmed the presence of a well-defined, 1.5 × 2 cm, predominantly solid lesion with minor internal cystic spaces arising from the superficial part of the gland. Magnetic resonance imaging showed no invasion of the deep lobe or skeletal erosion. Superficial parotidectomy was performed via a facelift incision. Histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. Review of the literature emphasised important differences in managing this pathology in the paediatric population when compared with adults.Conclusion:We present the youngest reported case of a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland, detail its management, and discuss the general approach to parotid pathology management in the paediatric population.
