Although the incidence of salivary gland tumors in the general population is relatively low, these neoplasms account for a significant proportion of tumors of the oral and perioral regions and are therefore of considerable interest to the dentist. Malignant salivary gland tumors comprise the second most common type of oral cancer, although squamous cell carcinomas arising from the surface mucosa are nine times more common. Salivary gland tumors occur in both the major (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) and minor (accessory) salivary glands of the oropharynx. This article will discuss various types of salivary gland tumors and treatment options.
尽管唾液腺肿瘤在普通人群中的发病率相对较低，但这些肿瘤在口腔及口周区域的肿瘤中占相当大的比例，因此受到牙医的广泛关注。恶性唾液腺肿瘤是第二常见的口腔癌类型，尽管源自表面黏膜的鳞状细胞癌更为常见，其发病率是恶性唾液腺肿瘤的九倍。唾液腺肿瘤可发生于口咽的大唾液腺（腮腺、颌下腺和舌下腺）和小唾液腺（副唾液腺）。本文将讨论各种类型的唾液腺肿瘤及其治疗方案。
