Extravasation mucocele involving the ventral surface of the tongue (glands of Blandin-Nuhn).

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 mucus-retention cyst where the former is the most frequently observed involving minor salivary glands such as the glands present in the anterior portion of the ventral surface of the tongue (glands of Blandin-Nuhn). CASE REPORT: This report describes a large lesion involving the ventral surface of the tongue that was definitively diagnosed by histological examination as extravasation mucocele. CONCLUSION: Important concepts are reviewed to help clinicians correctly diagnose and treat this pathology.

[Differential diagnosis of neck masses].

This is the second part of an article on the differential diagnosis of cervical masses. It deals more specifically with non ganglionic masses and emphasizes the differential diagnosis as well as the clinical characteristics of these different masses.

[Dental complications of irradiation : fluoride prophylaxis (author's transl)].

The authors review the studies describing dental changes after radiotherapy or curietherapy of the cervicofacial region published over the last 50 years. They discuss more particularly: --direct and indirect effects on the teeth,--lesions of the salivary glands,--dental lesions,--fluoride prophylaxis for dental lesions after irradiation.

Statherin levels in saliva of patients with precancerous and cancerous lesions of the oral cavity: a preliminary report.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to measure concentration of human salivary statherin in patients with oral cavity pathologies and salivary gland diseases. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Levels of statherin were analysed with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in following groups of subjects: group A: 24 patients with neoplastic diseases of salivary glands, group B: 13 patients with inflammatory lesions of salivary glands, group C: 13 patients with precancerous and cancerous lesions of the oral cavity excluding salivary gland tumors, group D: 20 healthy volunteers (control group). RESULTS: Our preliminary data indicated a sensible reduction of the statherin level in the saliva of patients with precancerous and cancerous lesions of the oral cavity (group C) compared with the healthy subjects (group D). The statherin levels are not significantly reduced either in the inflammatory (group B) or in the salivary glands tumours (group A), compared with the healthy subjects (group D). CONCLUSION: Statherin could play a protective effect in oral cavity in association with its other functions.

[Study of free-radical processes and antioxidant defense parameters during hirudotherapy of patients with diseases of salivary glands].

Hirudotherapy was used in the treatment of 39 patients (10 male and 29 female) aged 28-58 years with chronic sialadenitis and sialadenosis. Control group consisted of 15 normal subjects without diseases of salivary glands. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) and antioxidant defense (AOD) parameters were under study. Hirudotherapy led to improvement of the clinical status in the majority of patients with sialadenosis; the content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) normalized and ceruloplasmin (CP) level increased. The status of patients with sialadenitis also improved; catalase and glutathione peroxidase levels normalized and SOD and CP levels increased. The best therapeutic effect was attained in patients with sialadenitis. No appreciable improvement was observed in patients with chronic parenchymatous parotitis in the presence of Sjogren's syndrome.

Salivary disease in childhood.

Salivary disease in childhood is uncommon. Clinical features are much the same as in adult disease, however, congenital, inflammation, and functional disease is more common. Management is governed by the same general principles in all age groups. Congenital abnormalities are rare. Inflammation, either bacterial or viral, is the most common disease. Chronic sialadenitis usually resolves at puberty. Neoplasia is rare, and the majority of tumors are benign and occur in the parotid gland. Malignancy is suggested by rapid growth, pain, skin fixation, and lymphadenopathy. Surgical treatment of sialorrhea should only be considered after careful assessment. Relocation of the submandibular ducts is the treatment of choice.

Mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn: clinical and histopathologic analysis of 26 cases.

We investigated the clinical and histopathologic features of 26 cases of mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn. There was a female predominance, and most patients were younger than 20 years. Fifteen patients first visited a medical doctor and 9 visited a dentist before being referred to our department. The average duration from the time the lesion was first noticed to the patient's visit was 3.6 months. All lesions were located on the ventral surface of the tongue. In 17 patients, mucoceles were seen at the tip of the tongue, whereas 9 lesions occurred more posteriorly. Lesions were situated at the midline in 19 patients and laterally in 7 patients. All lesions presented as an exophytic mass, often with a polypoid appearance. All mucoceles were histopathologically of the extravasation type, suggesting that trauma may represent a frequent initiating factor.
