The study aims to provide insights into the characteristics of Polish patients with different salivary gland pathologies.
This is a retrospective study conducted at a single center, including patients who underwent surgery for salivary gland pathologies between 2012 and 2022.
This study included 239 patients who underwent surgery for salivary gland tumors or inflammatory diseases. Malignant tumors were diagnosed in 9.8% of participants, while 64% had benign tumors and 21% suffered from inflammation. The occurrence of complications after surgery was relatively low, with 9.9% of participants experiencing slight facial weakness or mild dysfunction, and 3% experiencing complete paralysis of the facial nerves. Significant differences were observed between patients with cancers and those with benign tumors and inflammation in terms of age. Cancers were more common in females (67% vs. 33%) and predominantly localized in the parotid glands (95%).
Benign tumors, such as Warthin's tumors and polymorphous adenoma, were predominantly found in the parotid glands of patients aged 39-72 years. On the other hand, inflammatory diseases were primarily localized within the submandibular glands of males aged 40-68 years. Additionally, the presence of a malignant tumor was associated with longer hospitalization periods related to surgery and a higher risk of severe complications.
This study on Polish patients with salivary gland tumors provides valuable clinical insights that can aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, patient counseling, and further research in the field of oncology. It contributes to the overall understanding of salivary gland tumors, potentially benefiting both patients and healthcare providers.
本研究旨在深入了解不同唾液腺病变波兰患者的特征。
这是一项单中心回顾性研究，纳入了 2012 年至 2022 年间因唾液腺病变接受手术的患者。
本研究纳入了 239 例行唾液腺肿瘤或炎症性疾病手术的患者。9.8%的患者诊断为恶性肿瘤，64%为良性肿瘤，21%为炎症。术后并发症发生率相对较低，9.9%的患者出现轻微面部无力或轻度功能障碍，3%的患者出现面神经完全瘫痪。癌症患者与良性肿瘤和炎症患者在年龄方面存在显著差异。癌症更常见于女性（67%比 33%），主要位于腮腺（95%）。
良性肿瘤，如沃辛氏瘤和多形性腺瘤，主要发生在 39-72 岁患者的腮腺中。另一方面，炎症性疾病主要位于 40-68 岁男性的颌下腺中。此外，恶性肿瘤的存在与与手术相关的更长住院时间和更严重并发症的风险增加相关。
本研究为波兰唾液腺肿瘤患者提供了有价值的临床见解，有助于诊断、治疗计划、患者咨询以及肿瘤学领域的进一步研究。它有助于全面了解唾液腺肿瘤，可能使患者和医疗保健提供者受益。
