Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the salivary glands. Report of seven cases and review of the literature

Cancer
S Muller, L Barnes

Abstract

Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare, recently described salivary gland tumor. The authors report the clinicopathologic features of 7 new cases and compare the results with 65 additional cases in the English literature to comprehend its natural history. Seven cases were retrieved from the surgical pathology files at Presbyterian University Hospital and the Eye and Ear Institute Pavilion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The cases were accumulated between the years 1985 and 1995. Of these, five were outside consultations. The 6 women and 1 man ranged in age from 46 to 74 years and presented primarily with a slowly enlarging asymptomatic mass of either the parotid (6 cases) or submandibular gland (1 case). None had facial nerve paresis or cervical lymphadenopathy. Three tumors arose from preexisting basal cell adenomas. Two patients experienced local recurrences and one had distant metastasis. However, all the patients were alive and without known disease at last follow-up (average 30 months). Combining the current series with 65 additional cases in the literature indicated that BCAC is a low grade malignant tumor that occurs primarily in the parotid gland (89% of all cases) of older individuals (median 60 years) without gender ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
