Oncocytoma of the salivary gland
Diagnosis in short

Salivary gland oncocytoma. H&E stain. (WC/Nephron)
Synonyms salivary gland oncocytoma
LM abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm; architecture: solid, trabecular or duct-like
LM DDx acinic cell carcinoma, metastatic renal cell carcinoma, oncocytic carcinoma, granular cell tumour
IHC p63 +ve
EM increased numbers of mitochondria
Site salivary gland
Prevalence very rare
Radiology blends with normal salivary gland on T1 postcontrast and fat-saturated T2 MR images
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx other salivary gland tumours

Oncocytoma of the salivary gland (also salivary gland oncocytoma) is a rare benign tumour of the salivary glands.

General

  • No risk of malignant transformation.
  • Rare ~20 reported in literature.[1]
  • Thought to be ~1% of all salivary gland tumours.
  • Typical age: 60s-80s.
  • Associated with radiation exposure.
  • Major salivary glands - usually parotid gland.[2]
  • Case report of oncocytoma of parotid as manifestation of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.[3]

Gross

  • Golden brown appearance.

Note:

  • "Disappear" into background salivary gland on MRI: isointense to normal on fat-saturated T2 and T1 postcontrast images.[4]

  • Salivary gland oncocytoma (WC/euthman)

Microscopic

Features:

  • Like oncocytomas elsewhere.
    • Abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm (on H&E stain).
      • Due to increased number of mitochrondria.
    • Fine capillaries.
  • Architecture: solid sheets, trabeculae or duct-like structure.[2]

Notes:

  • May have clear cell change.
  • Multiple small incidental lesions = oncocytosis - not oncocytoma.

  • Parotid gland oncocytoma - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Parotid gland oncocytoma - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Parotid gland oncocytoma - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

IHC

  • p63 +ve[5] focally in nucleus.
  • DOG1 -ve.[6]
  • PAX8 -ve.[7]

EM

  • Increased numbers of mitochondria.

Sign out

Nodule, Right Parotid Gland, Core Biopsy:
- ONCOCYTOMA.

Comment:
The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: p63 (focal, nuclear).
NEGATIVE: CD10, RCC, S-100, CD68, vimentin.

Micro

The sections show cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and bland round nuclei in a tubular architecture. Mitotic activity is not readily apparent. Significant nuclear atypia is absent.
