The salivary gland tumors are rare (less than 3% of all tumors) and poorly known. In fact, they are numerous and histologically difficult to diagnose.
This work aims to point at the different histological types of salivary gland tumors, to draw out the principal epidemiological, clinical, radiological and histological characteristics, and to compare our cases to those of the literature.
Accordingly, we performed a descriptive type study about 180 cases of salivary gland tumors from the departments of pathology and oto-rhino-laryngology of Habib Thameur hospital during 25 years, extending from April 1979 to December 2004.
Benign tumors were predominant (88%), while malignant ones represented 12% of our cases dominated by carcinomas. The sex-ratio was 0.96. Parotid gland location was the most frequent one, and pleomorphic adenoma was the most frequent tumor (62%).
Histological diversity of salivary tumors results in difficulties for differential diagnosis. These problems can be solved by a precise diagnostic approach and sometimes by an immunohistochemistry study.
涎腺肿瘤较为罕见（占所有肿瘤的比例不到3%），人们对其了解甚少。事实上，涎腺肿瘤数量众多，组织学诊断困难。
本研究旨在指出涎腺肿瘤的不同组织学类型，总结其主要的流行病学、临床、放射学和组织学特征，并将我们的病例与文献报道的病例进行比较。
因此，我们对哈比卜·塔默尔医院病理科和耳鼻喉科在1979年4月至2004年12月的25年间收治的180例涎腺肿瘤病例进行了描述性研究。
良性肿瘤占主导（88%），而恶性肿瘤占病例的12%，其中以癌为主。性别比为0.96。腮腺部位最为常见，多形性腺瘤是最常见的肿瘤（62%）。
涎腺肿瘤的组织学多样性导致鉴别诊断困难。这些问题可以通过精确的诊断方法，有时还需要通过免疫组织化学研究来解决。
