“…5 ACC is characterized by slow growth, multiple recurrences, and late distant metastasis, commonly to the lungs. 5-8 It is a rare entity in the larynx, representing <1% of all tumors occurring at this site. 2,4 It is thought to arise from submucosal glands present in a distinct anatomic distribution within the larynx.…”

“…6,10,11,14,[24][25][26] In our study, no differences were seen between lymphoma and solid tumors according to the presence of other organ involvement. In other words, when we detected a splenic tumor, there were no differences between lymphoma and solid tumors regarding the presence of other organ involvement.…”

Splenic involvement guide treatment and affect prognosis in lymphoma and solid tumors. The most common used imaging techniques in detecting splenic involvement are Ultrasound (US) and Computed Tomography (CT). In this study, our aims were to evaluate the imaging findings regarding the spleen, compare splenic lesions according to the diagnosis and evaluate correlations between US and CT according to splenomegaly and lesions. Between May 2008 and April 2011 we identified 72 patients with splenic lesions or splenomegaly on CT or US. However, we exclude 27 patients from the study because of study protocol. Therefore, we enrolled 45 patients with a proven malignancy who had splenic lesions detected with CT. Seventeen patients had a diagnosis of lymphoma, and 28 patients had non-hematological malignancies. The characteristic features of the splenic lesions, detected on CT in patients with a proven malignancy, varied according to the cancer type. Multiple splenic lesions and splenomegaly in lymphoma patients and only solitary lesions in solid tumors were seen on CT (p< 0.001). Lymphoma patients usually had a solid splenic lesion with splenomegaly on US, but no lesion in solid tumors were seen on US (p< 0.05). The US and CT correlation ratio was inferior for solid tumors.US may miss splenic solid tumor metastases. CT is useful for distinguishing splenic lymphoma involvement from solid tumor metastases. CT seems superior to US in detecting splenic solid tumor metastases.Keywords: Spleen, Ultrasound, Computed Tomography, Lymphoma, Solid Malignancies ÖZET Lenfoma ve Solid Tümörlerde Dalağın Malign Lezyonları, Görüntüleme Teknikleri Kıyaslama ÇalışmasıLenfoma ve solid tümörlerde dalak tutulumu prognozu etkilemekte ve tedaviye klavuzluk etmektedir. Dalak tutulumunun tanımlanmasında en sık kullanılan görüntüleme teknikleri Ultrason (US) ve Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT)'dir. Bu çalışmada dalağın görüntüleme bulgularını değerlendirmeyi, tanıya göre dalak lezyonlarını kıyaslamayı ve splenomegali ve lezyonlara göre US ve BT arasındaki korelasyonu değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Mayıs 2008 ve Nisan 2011 arasında BT veya US'de splenomegali veya dalak lezyonları olan 72 hasta tanımladık. Ancak, 27 hastayı çalışma protokolü nedeniyle çalışmadan çıkarttık. Sonuçta kanıtlanmış bir malignensisi olan ve BT ile dalakta lezyonu saptanmış 45 hastayı çalışmaya aldık. On yedi hastanın tanısı lenfoma, 28 hastanın tanısı ise hematolojik olmayan malignensi idi. Kanıtlanmış bir malignensisi olan hastalarda BT'de gözlenen dalak lezyonlarının karakteristik özel-likleri kanser tipine göre farklılık gösterdi. BT'de lenfoma hastalarında dalakta çok sayıda lezyonla birlikte splenomegali görülürken, solid tümörlerde yalnızca tek lezyon görüldü (p< 0.001). US'de lenfoma hastalarında genellikle bir solid lezyona eşlik eden splenomegali varken, solid tümörlerde US'de lezyon gözlenmedi (p< 0.05). US ve BT'nin korelasyon oranı solid tümörlerde düşüktü. US solid tümör metastazını gözden kaçırabilir. BT lenfomanın dalak tutulumunu solid tümörlerin dalak metas...

“…It can occur in any head and neck site containing salivary gland tissue. ACC typically presents with late metastases most commonly to the lungs 1 , but can also metastasize to the brain, bone, liver, thyroid and spleen [2][3] . ACC is also known for its neurotropic tendency, accounting for local regional recurrences many years after initial presentation and treatment 4 .…”
