The salivary glands are the site of origin of a wide variety of neoplasms and are also relatively uncommon. The histopathology of these tumors is said to be the most complex and diverse of any organ in the body. The incidence of salivary gland tumors (SGTs) is claimed to be influenced by geographical and racial factors. Histopathological diagnosis plays a major role in the diagnosis of these neoplasms, with very few contribution using special stains, immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic studies.
Aimed at understanding the epidemiological pattern of these tumors and to compare our findings with reports done elsewhere.
This is a retrospective study done at Pathology Department a Postgraduate Teaching Hospital, Tertiary Care Centre in Bagalkot, Karnataka, India. All the cases of SGTs, which had been recorded in a 3-year period from 2009 to 2012, were enrolled in the study.
Clinical data were recorded and analyzed with respect to gender, age, site and histopathologic type.
Data of 59 cases of SGTs were recorded, of which 43 (69.16%) cases were classified as benign tumors and 16 (22.39%) cases as malignant tumors. Male to female ratio (M/F) and the mean age of patients were 1:1.8 and 43 years, respectively. Pleomorphic adenoma (60.71%) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (14.94%) were the most common benign and malignant neoplasms.
Although the SGTs encountered were similar in most of their characteristics to those reported in India and other countries, some differences such as relative frequency, age and gender prevalence were discovered.
唾液腺是多种肿瘤的起源部位，且相对不常见。据说这些肿瘤的组织病理学是人体任何器官中最复杂和多样的。唾液腺肿瘤（SGTs）的发病率据称受地理和种族因素影响。组织病理学诊断在这些肿瘤的诊断中起主要作用，而特殊染色、免疫组织化学和细胞遗传学研究的贡献非常少。
旨在了解这些肿瘤的流行病学模式，并将我们的研究结果与其他地方的报告进行比较。
这是一项在印度卡纳塔克邦巴加尔科特的三级护理中心研究生教学医院病理科进行的回顾性研究。纳入了2009年至2012年3年期间记录的所有SGTs病例。
记录并分析了关于性别、年龄、部位和组织病理学类型的临床数据。
记录了59例SGTs病例，其中43例（69.16%）被分类为良性肿瘤，16例（22.39%）为恶性肿瘤。男女比例（M/F）和患者平均年龄分别为1:1.8和43岁。多形性腺瘤（60.71%）和腺样囊性癌（14.94%）是最常见的良性和恶性肿瘤。
尽管所遇到的SGTs在大多数特征上与印度和其他国家报告的相似，但仍发现了一些差异，如相对频率、年龄和性别患病率。
