Article Abstract
Excision of submandibular gland is currently victim in all neck dissections. In this study we intend to estimate the prevalence of submandibular gland involvement in squamous cell oral carcinomas and identify the factors associated with it. This is a single institutional, retrospective observational study conducted from 22 to 2018 to 28 February 2020. 317 patients were included for analysis as per study criteria. The prevalence of involvement of submandibular gland was 3.8%. Increased risk of submandibular gland involvement was associated with involvement of level-Ib nodes (Odds ratio: 13.6, 2.9-63.3, 95% CI and p = < 0.001) and presence of extra-nodal extension (Odds ratio: 67, 8.4-532, 95% CI and p = < 0.001) and perineurial invasion (Odds ratio: 5, 1.6-16.8 and p = 0.003). In oral cancers, especially early stage carcinoma of buccal mucosa, submandibular gland preservation may be feasible in absence of extra-nodal extension and level-Ib involvement.

Myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) is a malignant neoplasm composed exclusively of myoepithelial cells and accounts for less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. Its diagnosis is often challenging due to histologic overlaps with benign lesions and its variable morphologic presentation. Although molecular profiling has emerged as a valuable tool in salivary gland tumor classification, the genetic landscape of MECA remains incompletely defined.

Studies indicate that dietary patterns influence the function and redox balance of salivary glands. This study examined the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on the function, histological structure, and redox balance of the salivary glands. Twenty 12-weeks-old male Wistar rats were randomized into two groups: ad libitum (AL), with continuous access to water and chow, and IF, subjected to 24-hour fasting on alternate days for 12 weeks.

Purpose: Sialoblastoma is an extremely rare low-grade malignant salivary gland neoplasm that presents at birth or early infancy and has heterogeneous clinical behavior. Due to its rarity, the molecular landscape remains incompletely characterized. We aimed to expand the current understanding of the genetic alterations in sialoblastoma through comprehensive molecular analysis.

To evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of transoral endoscopic-assisted submandibular gland resection with low-temperature plasma knife technology, aiming to establish a scarless surgical approach to meet the patients aesthetic demands. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 5 consecutive patients with benign submandibular gland pathologies treated by a single surgical team between January 2021 and December 2023. All procedures employed a transoral mucosal incision in the floor of mouth, with 0-degree high-definition endoscope assistance and low-temperature plasma knife for precise dissection and hemostasis.
