  • Title: Tumour-like lesions of the salivary glands. The new WHO classification.
    Author: Seifert G.
    Journal: Pathol Res Pract; 1992 Oct; 188(7):836-46. PubMed ID: 1448373.
    Abstract:
    Tumour-like lesions must be distinguished from true tumours of the salivary glands. In the new WHO classification of salivary gland tumours seven entities were considered: sialadenosis, oncocytosis (diffuse oncocytosis and focal adenomatous oncocytic hyperplasia), necrotizing sialometaplasia (salivary gland infarction), benign lymphoepithelial lesion (chronic myoepithelial sialadenitis), salivary duct cysts (mucoceles of the minor salivary glands of extravasation or retention type, cysts of the major salivary glands, ranula and dysgenetic polycystic disease of the parotid gland), chronic sclerosing sialadenitis of the submandibular gland (Küttner tumour), and cystic lymphoid hyperplasia in AIDS. The main topics of clinical data and pathohistology were described and documented by the results of the Salivary Gland Register in Hamburg (1965-1989).
