To evaluate the incidence of salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma in Jordanian patients.
The retrospective study involved histopathological reports of 62 patients diagnosed to have pleomorphic adenoma from salivary glands between 2000 and 2008 at King Hussein Medical Centre and the peripheral military hospitals of the Royal Medical Services, Jordan. The files were evaluated. Special attention was given to the distribution of the tumour to major and minor categories. Age, gender and treatment pattern were also noted. Quantitative and categorical variables were worked out for statistical analysis.
Out of the 62 cases, 32 (51.6%) occurred in men, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.06:1. The mean age was 40.4 +/- 12 years (range: 8 to 80 years) with peak incidence in the 4th decade of life. The primary tumours were predominantly located in the parotid gland (n=40; 64%), followed by pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands (n=11; 17%), the submandibular gland (n=10; 16.12%) and the sublingual gland (n=1; 1.6%). Painless swelling was the first finding in 49 (79%), followed by pressure sensation in 10 (16%) and pain in 3 (5%) patients.
Pleomorphic adenoma of salivary glands had similar characteristics with patients of most previously published research studies in other countries except that there was no significant difference regarding gender distribution in Jordanian patients.
评估约旦患者涎腺多形性腺瘤的发病率。
这项回顾性研究涉及2000年至2008年期间在约旦侯赛因国王医疗中心和皇家医疗服务机构的周边军事医院被诊断为涎腺多形性腺瘤的62例患者的组织病理学报告。对这些档案进行了评估。特别关注肿瘤在大涎腺和小涎腺中的分布情况。还记录了年龄、性别和治疗模式。计算了定量和分类变量以进行统计分析。
在这62例病例中，32例（51.6%）发生在男性患者中，男女比例为1.06:1。平均年龄为40.4±12岁（范围：8至80岁），发病高峰在生命的第四个十年。原发性肿瘤主要位于腮腺（n = 40；64%），其次是小涎腺多形性腺瘤（n = 11；17%）、下颌下腺（n = 10；16.12%）和舌下腺（n = 1；1.6%）。49例（79%）患者的首发症状为无痛性肿胀，其次是10例（16%）有压迫感，3例（5%）有疼痛。
涎腺多形性腺瘤与其他国家大多数先前发表的研究中的患者具有相似特征，只是约旦患者在性别分布上没有显著差异。
