Immunohistochemical study of acinic cell carcinoma of minor salivary gland
(Elsevier B.V., 1997-05-01)
Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare salivary gland tumour, making up 4% of all minor salivary gland tumours. Typically, it is composed of acinic cells although transitional and duct-like cells are also identified. In the ...
Mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn-clinical, pathological, and therapeutical aspects
(2011-01-01)
Purpose: This study aims to review anatomical, clinical, and pathological concepts as well as to discuss the most adequate therapeutic approach to the mucoceles of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn. Discussion: The glands of ...
Sialolith of unusual size and shape

Immunohistochemistry as a fundamental tool for the differential diagnosis of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma
(2006-07-01)
Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a subtype of salivary gland carcinoma with a marked predilection for the minor salivary glands. The diagnosis of this lesion can be a challenge in incisional biopsies because ...
Atenolol reduces salivary activity in pups of spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive rats treated during pregnancy and lactation
(2008-02-01)
The salivary activity in pups of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar (W) rats treated with atenolol during pregnancy, and lactation was evaluated. Atenolol's anti-hypertensive effect on the SHR rats was noticed ...
Extravasation mucocele involving the ventral surface of the tongue (glands of Blandin-Nuhn)
(2006-11-01)
Background. Mucocele is a lesion that involves the salivary glands and respective current ducts caused mainly by traumas in the affected area. Two different histological forms can be found: extravasation phenomenon and ...
MORPHOLOGY OF THE SALIVARY-GLAND ACINI IN GRIGIOTERMES-BEQUAERTI (ISOPTERA, TERMITIDAE, APICOTERMITINAE)
(E Schweizerbart'sche Verlags, 1991-01-01)
The salivary glands of females in Grigiotermes bequaerti (Snyder & Emerson 1949) are composed of many acini. Within the acini, the secretion is collected by canals that join into excretory ducts that open at the acini are ...
Expression of betacatenin in carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma, pleomorphic adenoma and normal salivary gland: an immunohistochemical study
(2006-05-01)
OBJECTIVES: Pleomorphic adenomas are the most frequent type of epithelial salivary gland neoplasms, and their malignant counterpart, the carcinoma in pleomorphic adenomas, is much less common. Beta-catenin is a cell adhesion ...
Programmed cell death in salivary glands of Drosophila arizonae and Drosophila mulleri
(2008-07-30)
Programmed cell death (PCD) in insect metamorphosis assumes a great diversity of morphology and controlling processes that are still not well understood. With the objective of obtaining information about the PCD process, ...
