Prospective and clinico-pathological study in surgical management of salivary gland tumour in a tertiary care hospital

Background: The salivary gland system of the upper aero digestive tract plays a critical role in the functions of digestion, respiration, communication, and overall homeostasis. The Salivary gland swellings can be broadly classified into inflammatory, non-inflammatory and neoplastic swellings like calculi, benign tumours such has pleomorphic adenoma, oncocytoma, Warthin's tumour, malignant tumors which include-adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma.Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of general surgery, Sri Siddhartha Medical College over a period of 2 years from August 2016 to July 2018. All major salivary gland neoplastic swellings confirmed by FNAC were included in this study.Results: In our study 23 patients had major salivary gland tumours out of that 19 patients had parotid and 4 had submandibular major salivary gland tumour. In our study out 23 cases of salivary tumours 19 cases were benign and 4 cases were malignant, out of 19 cases of parotid tumours, 15 (78.94%) cases were seen in superficial lobe and 4 (21.06%) were in deep lobe, out of 23 salivary gland tumours, 19 (82.6%) cases were pleomorphic adenoma 3(13.05%) cases were mucoepidermoid carcinoma and one case (4.35%) was acinic cell carcinoma.Conclusions: Parotid gland was the most common site of origin of both benign and malignant tumours, Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign salivary gland tumour and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most frequent malignant neoplasm.

Common Cancer

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in women. BC represents a heterogeneous group of tumors that are diverse in behavior, outcome, and response to therapy. Aims and Objective: The present study was undertaken to assess various clinical parameters and to evaluate correlation with histo-pathological grading in breast carcinoma patients. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the Surgical outpatient department and Indoor surgical wards of Deben Mahato Sadar Hospital (DMSH), Purulia, West Bengal from July, 2019 to December, 2020. 104 patients with diagnosis of BC aged between 20 years to 80 years were selected. Results: Among 104 patients, 41.3% patients were in the group of 41-50years. This study revealed that the patient had mostly IDC i.e. 78.8% and had triple negative BC (51.9%). Association of HPE vs. Stage, subtypes vs stage and Tru-cut biopsy vs HPE were statistically significant. Conclusion: The study showed that breast cancer tends to present in middle aged women and positively correlate with the present markers of bad prognosis.

Objective: This study is aimed to know the histopathological spectrum and outcome of surgery for salivary gland tumors presented in a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Tertiary Care Hospital of Pakistan. Period: July 2018 to June 2020. Material & Methods: After approval from Institutional Review Board. Total 73 patients were selected with preoperative diagnosis of salivary gland tumors with consecutive non probability sampling. All surgical procedures were done by specialist general surgeons who had experience of more than 10 years of head and neck surgery. Results: Male to female ratio was 2:1 with mean age of patients was 46 years. Among males 29 (59.1%) were benign salivary gland tumors while 20 (40.81%) were malignant salivary gland tumors. Among females 13 (54.16%) were benign and 11 (45.83%) were malignant salivary gland tumors Most common benign tumor was pleomorphic adenoma 32 (43.8%) while mucoepidermoid carcinoma was most common malignant tumor 17 (23.28%). Only 9 (12.32%) patients experienced nerve paresis. Conclusion: Male preponderance, a relatively younger age at presentation and single predominant benign tumor (pleomorphic adenoma) were the significant findings. Majority of them were found in parotid gland and found to be benign in nature. Majority of them were found in parotid gland and found to be benign in nature. Although fine needle aspiration cytology and magnetic resonance imaging provide some useful information about the nature of tumor but most of them will acquire a surgical excision in order to find the definitive diagnosis.
