sclerosing polycystic adenosis
Wednesday 29 March 2017
Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare benign neoplasm of the salivary gland which resembles the fibrocystic disease of the breast clinically as well as morphologically.
Recognition of this benign entity is important since the differential diagnosis includes other more common benign and malignant salivary gland neoplasm particularly mucoepidermoid carcinoma and other tumors with cystic and oncocytic features.
