Diagnostic value of Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) in salivary gland tumors

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Nowadays, besides the ordinary staining, a variety of cell markers and immunohistochemistry methods are incorporated for distinction between neoplasms. But in the current situation, due to the high cost of most of these methods, cheaper and simpler way like silver nitrate s...

But in the current situation, due to the high cost of most of these methods, cheaper and simpler way like silver nitrate staining should be sought for analyzing the nucleolar organizer dots. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the distinction capability of silver nitrate within the benign and malignant neoplasms of the salivary glands.METHODS: Silver nitrate staining was carried out for nucleolar organizer regions in 22 cases of the most common benign neoplasms of the salivary glands, namely pleomorphic adenoma, and 22 cases of common malignant neoplasms of salivary glands, consisting of 11 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 11 mucoepidermoid carcinoma cases.

There were significant differences among benign and malignant, malignant and normal, and benign and normal groups (p<0.05).
