The authors examine the association of the tumors of salivary glands with other cancers. They point out that most frequently there is an association with tumours of the skin or of the breast in women and of the prostate in men. The synchronous or metachonous presence of tumours of the salivary glands and of the thyroid is quite exceptional. For this reason the authors believe interesting the case observed of a patient with a synchronous adenoid-cystic cancer of the right sub-maxyllary gland and a papillary cancer of the thyroid. They point out that in this case there was not any previous radiation of the neck regions of the patient which could represent a common risk factor for the two tumours.
作者研究了唾液腺肿瘤与其他癌症之间的关联。他们指出，在女性中，唾液腺肿瘤最常与皮肤或乳腺肿瘤相关联；在男性中，则最常与前列腺肿瘤相关联。唾液腺肿瘤和甲状腺肿瘤同时或异时出现的情况相当罕见。因此，作者认为观察到的一例患者同时患有右侧颌下腺腺样囊性癌和甲状腺乳头状癌的病例很有意思。他们指出，在该病例中，患者颈部此前未接受过任何辐射，而辐射可能是这两种肿瘤的共同风险因素。
