This book details how, over the last 25 years, ultrasound examination as become an indispensable means of diagnosing salivary pathology. It presents the new machines equipped with high-frequency probes which now allow a real approach to the pathology and give a macro-photography of the tumor. Doppler ultrasonography can identify vascularization on inflammatory and tumoral processes, and ultrasound elastography now gives new details and helps judge whether tumors are benign or malignant. This book is a step-by-step guide describing best practices, from handling the probe and placing it on the salivary gland to diagnostic imaging, from infection and chronic diseases to cysts and tumors. Aimed at radiologists, ENT specialists, and maxillofacial surgeons, this book points out how the most inexpensive examination can yield maximum detail if carried out thoroughly.

This wide-ranging guide to dry mouth, or xerostomia, is intended to meet the needs of dentists by providing information on all clinically relevant aspects. After introductory discussion of salivary secretion and function, the potential causes of dry mouth, including diseases affecting saliva production, drugs and irradiation, are examined. Symptoms and signs such as altered taste, bacterial changes and infection are discussed and impacts on quality of life, described. Diagnostic issues are fully explored, covering the use of clinical scoring scales, difficulties in assessment, detection of early signs and the role of salivary biomarkers. The full range of treatment options and preventive measures is then described, including the use of intensity-modulated radiotherapy to spare salivary function, the value of artificial salivas and the beneficial effects of regular chewing. The book closes by considering future treatment avenues and the potential for salivary gland regeneration.

This volume describes a uniform international approach for classifying and reporting salivary gland FNA samples. The new reporting system is evidence-based using data from the literature as well as upon the experience of a multi-disciplinary group of leading experts involved in the field of salivary gland cytopathology. Each diagnostic category of this novel salivary gland reporting system includes detailed descriptions of the cytologic criteria as well as a comprehensive set of photomicrographs demonstrating all of the key microscopic features along with annotated descriptions for each image.   Designed as a practical book with easy readability, The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology combines the high-quality images of an atlas with a logical approach described in concise text-form and in line-drawing algorithms. It presents for the first time, an international cytologic reporting system for salivary gland lesions designed and endorsed by a panel of experts in the field.
