Salivary glands tumors constitute a highly heterogeneous group in human oncological pathology. They show different clinical, epidemiological, histopathological and evolutionary characteristics.
In this paper we have analysed their epidemiological aspects in 454 patients with salivary glands tumors surgically treated at the Maxillofacial Surgical Unit of the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria ''Ospedali Riuniti Umberto I-G.M. Lancisi-G. Salesi'', Ancona, Italy, from 1990 to 2002, to evaluate the incidence of the different types of neoplasia and their age and sex distribution.
Our results show that 63.22% of salivary glands tumors occur in the parotid gland, with a predominance of benign tumours, pleomorphic adenoma being the most prevalent histological type. A higher prevalence was observed in the female sex.
Malignant tumors were more common in the elderly than in young patients and the most common histological types were mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma.
涎腺肿瘤在人类肿瘤病理学中是一个高度异质性的群体。它们表现出不同的临床、流行病学、组织病理学和演变特征。
在本文中，我们分析了1990年至2002年期间在意大利安科纳市“翁贝托一世综合医院 - G.M. 兰奇西 - G. 萨莱西医院”颌面外科接受手术治疗的454例涎腺肿瘤患者的流行病学情况，以评估不同类型肿瘤的发病率及其年龄和性别分布。
我们的结果表明，63.22%的涎腺肿瘤发生在腮腺，良性肿瘤占优势，多形性腺瘤是最常见的组织学类型。女性患病率较高。
恶性肿瘤在老年患者中比在年轻患者中更常见，最常见的组织学类型是黏液表皮样癌和腺样囊性癌。
