Abstract
At least one-third of cystic salivary gland lesions are neoplastic. Cystic lesion of the salivary gland requires only surgery, because regardless of the type and location, drug therapy is not possible with this diagnosis.. If the cystic neoplasm is localized in a hard-to-reach place and if it is localized in the parotid gland, the surgical manipulation is performed from the outside, it is removed simultaneously with the parenchyma of the salivary gland. The FNA specimens from salivary gland cystic lesions can be no informative very often, because FNA of these lesions demonstrates hypocellular mucinous material contents, possibly with inflammatory cells and also scant epithelial cells. For example, the presence of mucin and admixed lymphocytes in cyst fluid can be demonstrated both in the benign inflammatory cysts and cystic neoplasms. A definitive diagnosis of cystic neoplasms of the salivary glands is possible only through histological examination of the neoplastic tissue. Prevention of cystic neoplasms of the salivary gland consists of preventing injuries and inflammations of the oral cavity, careful hygiene and regular visits to the dentist. This article presents cases of the salivary glands cystic neoplasms, which are the clinical interest.
