Osteoclast-like giant-cell tumor of the parotid with salivary duct carcinoma: case report and cytologic, histologic, and immunohistochemical findings. Ear, nose, & throat journal [Ear Nose Throat J] Journal article | | Title | Osteoclast-like giant-cell tumor of the parotid with salivary duct carcinoma: case report and cytologic, histologic, and immunohistochemical findings. | | Author(s) | Kadivar M, Nilipour Y, Sadeghipour A | | Institution | Department of Pathology, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. dmkadivar@yahoo.com | | Source | Ear Nose Throat J 2007 Oct; 86(10):628-30. | | Abstract | Primary giant-cell tumor of the salivary gland is a rare lesion with an incompletely characterized histogenesis. To the best of our knowledge, only 16 cases have been previously documented in the English-language literature. We report a new case, which occurred in a 75-year-old man who presented with a parotid mass and cervical lymphadenopathy. The patient underwent a left total parotidectomy and cervical lymph node dissection. As far as we know, ours is the only reported case of a primary giant-cell tumor of the salivary gland in which the patient presented with lymph node metastasis. Because so little is known about giant-cell tumor of the salivary gland, we use the occasion of this case report to describe the cytologic, histologic, and immunohistochemical characteristics that we observed. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
