  3. Salivary gland carcinoma
    • Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
    • Polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma
    • Adenoid cystic carcinoma
    • Clear cell carcinoma

  • Splenomegaly and hepatomegaly
  • Lymphadenopathy
  • Mucosal pallor and abnormal gingival bleeding in a child
  • Pancytopenia and it’s effects
  • Cancer symptoms

  • Gingival swelling
  • Mucosal ulceration
  • Leukemic deposits
  • Purpura
  • Anaemia
  • Cervical lymphadenopathy

Diagnosis:

  • Bone marrow biopsy
  • Peripheral blood film
