Salivary gland biopsy?
DefinitionSalivary gland biopsy is the removal of a small piece of tissue or cells from a salivary gland for examination.Alternative NamesBiopsy - salivary glandHow the test is performedThere are several pairs of salivary glands in different locations in the mouth: a major pair in front of the ears (parotid glands); two major pairs on the floor of the mouth; and several minor pairs within the lips, cheeks, and tongue.One method of salivary gland biopsy is a needle biopsy. The skin over the gland is cleaned with rubbing alcohol. A local anesthetic may be injected, and a needle is inserted into the gland. A piece or tissue or cells are removed and placed on slides, which are sent to a laboratory for examination.A biopsy can also be done to determine the type of tumor in a salivary gland lump and to determine if the gland and tumor need to be removed.A biopsy of the glands in the lips or the parotid gland can also be performed to diagnose diseases such as Sjogren syndrome.How to prepare for the testFor a needle biopsy, there is no special preparation, although you may be asked not to drink or eat anything for a few hours beforehand.
