479 cases of tumors of salivary glands were examined at the Institute of Surgical Pathology of the University of Padua during the years 1973-1986; all these were reviewed. The diagnosis of individual tumors was based on the World Health Organization classification. Tumors were analyzed considering the histological type, sex, age and site. Primary tumors of epithelial origin were 91.8%. The principal site was the parotid (78.1%) while the submandibular gland forms the second largest group (14.57%). The malignant forms increase with age and were more common in submandibular and sublingual glands than the parotid. Connective tissue tumors were rare; 50% were hemangiomas that occur in children and young people; the only malignant neoplasias of soft tissue were 2 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma.
1973年至1986年期间，帕多瓦大学外科病理研究所对479例唾液腺肿瘤进行了检查；所有病例均进行了复查。个体肿瘤的诊断基于世界卫生组织的分类。对肿瘤进行了组织学类型、性别、年龄和部位的分析。上皮源性原发性肿瘤占91.8%。主要部位是腮腺（78.1%），而下颌下腺是第二大组（14.57%）。恶性肿瘤的发病率随年龄增长而增加，在下颌下腺和舌下腺比腮腺更常见。结缔组织肿瘤很少见；50%是发生在儿童和年轻人中的血管瘤；仅有的2例软组织恶性肿瘤是横纹肌肉瘤。
