Abstract
|
|
|
Ninty five cases of salivary gland tumors were reviewed in histopathlogic and clinical
aspects.
The results were as follows: The average age of patients was 37.9 years. Overall
cases showed female predominance with 1.7 : 1 of male to female ratio, but malignant
mixed tumors were more frequent 1.3 times in males. The chief complaints were
palpable mass (87.3%), pain(14.5%: facial nerve paralysis (9.1%) and swelling(7.3%) in
order of frequency and the duration of the disease was over one year in most of the
patients(88.5%). As the location, 49.4% occurred in the major salivary glands and 40.0%
in the minor. The parotid gland was the most frequent site with 35.8% of the total, and
the next were palate (18.9%), submaxillary gland(11.6%) and nasal cavity and maxillary
sinus(10.6%). The tumors were benign in 57.9% and malignant in 42.1%. The most
frequent histoloical type was benign mixed tumors (57.9%) and the next were adenoid
cystic carcinoma (21.6%) and mucoepidermoid carcinomas(9.5%). Most of mixed tumors
in the minor salivary glands occurred in the palate and all of thens were benign in
character. Adenoid cystic carcinoma was most frequent in the basal cavity and maxillary
sinus and the next was in the tongue.
It seems that both the epithlial and myoepithelial cells take part in the formation of
the mixed tumor favoring the opinion of Yates and Paget(1952), Azzopardi and
Smith(1959) and Hubner et al. (1971).
