RESUMO
Oral adenosquamous carcinoma is an uncommon highly malignant tumor.We reported a case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the parotid gland in a 61-year-old male patient. We found the tumor was composed of both true squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma with a significant rate of lymph node metastasis, and the 5-year survival rate is low.

PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical and pathological diagnosis of oral candidiasis and reduce misdiagnosis. METHODS: The medical records of 8 patients with oral candidiasis were reviewed retrospectively, HE and PAS staining of histopathology were applied to study the specimens. RESULTS: It was found that oral candidiasis were identified by pathological diagnosis, but weren't considered clinically. Minor abscesses were all detected in the epithelium of conventional histopathologic sections, the hyphae were shown by PAS staining invading the epithelium. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that candidal infections should be considered, if there are hyperplastic or ulcerative lesions which last for long time; when minor abscesses are detected in the epithelium by histopathologic examination, oral candidiasis should be highly suspected, and be confirmed by PAS staining.
