Salivary gland hamartoma with eosinophilic cell adenoma: a clinicopathologic analysis of two cases

Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 2019 Jul 1;12(7):2722-2727. eCollection 2019.

Abstract

Hamartoma of the salivary gland is a rare, non-neoplastic lesion originating in the salivary gland. Hamartomas accompanied by eosinophilic cell adenoma are much rarer. Here we present two cases of salivary hamartoma with adenomatous oncocytic hyperplasia, and the related medical literature on both topics was reviewed simultaneously. We hope to raise awareness of the special hamartomas as one of the differential diagnoses of salivary masses.

Keywords: Hamartoma; adenomatous oncocytic hyperplasia; salivary gland.
