Abstract
- In 2022, the 5th edition of the WHO classification of Head and Neck tumors was published online. In the salivary gland chapter, a new benign entity, the keratocystoma, was introduced. The sclerosing polycystic adenosis has been recognized as tumoral and is now termed sclerosing polycystic adenoma. The striated duct adenoma now has its own dedicated chapter. Additionally, a new variant of pleomorphic adenoma, termed "canalicular adenoma-like," has been incorporated. Regarding malignant tumors of the salivary glands, significant doubts now exist regarding the actual existence of oncocytic carcinoma, which has been reclassified among emerging entities. Two new malignant entities have also emerged: microsecretory adenocarcinoma and microcystic sclerosing adenocarcinoma. Finally, primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the salivary glands has been acknowledged as a distinct entity.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 The Author. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS..
