Sclerosing polycystic adenoma of the salivary gland mimicking other salivary gland neoplasms: A series of 3 cases

Sclerosing polycystic adenoma is a recently described, rare sclerosing tumor of salivary gland with fibrocystic changes. It was previously called sclerosing polycystic adenosis. This benign tumor closely resembles other salivary gland neoplasms. Less than 50 cases of this entity have been reported so far. Here we present three cases of sclerosing polycystic adenomas, in a 52-year-old male, a 27-year-old female and a 30-year-old female respectively. All the three cases radiologically and cytologically resembled other salivary gland neoplasms. It is important to be aware of this entity so as not to confuse with other more common salivary neoplasms.

Abstract

Sclerosing polycystic adenoma is a recently described, rare sclerosing tumor of salivary gland with fibrocystic changes. It was previously called sclerosing polycystic adenosis. This benign tumor closely resembles other salivary gland neoplasms. Less than 50 cases of this entity have been reported so far. Here we present three cases of sclerosing polycystic adenomas, in a 52-year-old male, a 27-year-old female and a 30-year-old female respectively. All the three cases radiologically and cytologically resembled other salivary gland neoplasms. It is important to be aware of this entity so as not to confuse with other more common salivary neoplasms.
