Oncocytomas of the salivary gland are uncommon neoplasms that are characterized by polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and relatively uniform nuclei. They are benign in nature and have a low recurrence rate with complete surgical excision. Though uncommon, oncocytic and clear cell variants of malignant tumors may histologically mimic oncocytomas and identification of their distinguishing features is essential. A classic example of an oncocytoma is discussed.
唾液腺的嗜酸细胞瘤是一种不常见的肿瘤,其特征为具有丰富颗粒状嗜酸性细胞质和相对均匀核的多边形细胞。它们本质上是良性的,并且在完全手术切除后复发率低。尽管不常见,但恶性肿瘤的嗜酸细胞和透明细胞变体在组织学上可能类似于嗜酸细胞瘤,因此识别其特征性表现至关重要。本文讨论了一个经典的嗜酸细胞瘤病例。
