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.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Salivary gland tumors are morphologically and histologically diverse group of lesions and their frequency varies in several parts of the world. Better understanding of these tumours will help in assessing the behaviour and outcomes of lesions of this region. The aim of this study was to analyse the charactertistics of different tumours occurring in the salivary gland in a tertiary care centre in South India.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective study was conducted of salivary gland tumors diagnosed from the year 2015 to 2020. Patient age and gender, tumor site and frequency, histopathological diagnosis were evaluated and analysed.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 36 salivary gland tumor cases was identified, 30 (87.3%) of which were classified as benign and 6 (12.7%) as malignant. Most tumors occurred in the parotid gland (81.3%). Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common tumor in 23 patients (63.8%), followed by warthins tumour. The tumors occurred more often in women than men.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The results of the present study reinforce prevalence of salivary gland tumours. The parotid gland is the most common location and pleomorphic adenoma are the most frequent lesions. The malignant tumors also can occur in these glands and good clinical suspicion is necessary.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Objectives: To evaluate epidemiological pattern, early diagnostic tool and histological type of parotid gland tumors. Study Design: Prospective cross sectional study. Setting: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery& General Surgery Liaquat University hospital Hyderabad. Period: From 2013 to 2017. Material & Methods: Study contains 67 patients of parotid tumors after initial diagnosis. These patients were first diagnosed by FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology) along with CT scan & MRI where required. Final diagnosis was established after histopathological diagnosis of tumor. Results: Males were predominantly involved in both tumor patterns. Most common age group was 5th decade in both benign and malignant tumors. FNAC has diagnostic sensitivity of almost 90-97%. Out of 67, 51 tumors were benign and 16 were malignant. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumor while mucoepidermoid carcinoma was found as most received malignant tumor. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma is most commonly found benign tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma is found more in numbers as malignant tumor.

Objective: To describe the demographic and histological features of salivary gland pathologies at tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Retrospective Descriptive. Setting: Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences, Lahore. Period: February 2012 to February 2017. Material & Method: 17548 surgical specimens were received during this period. Among these, 50 cases were diagnosed as salivary gland disorders. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 22. Results: 50 cases were diagnosed as salivary gland disorders out of 17548 surgical resections. Salivary gland disorders were divided into non-neoplastic group (n= 15) and neoplastic group (n = 35), which was further divided into: (i) Benign tumors, (n= 26) and (ii) Malignant tumors, (n= 9). Conclusion: Salivary gland disorders are rare diseases to be encountered clinically. Chronic sialadenitis among non-neoplastic disorders, pleomorphic adenoma among benign tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma among malignant tumors were the commonest.

AbstractThe presence of melanin pigment and melanocytic markers expression have been rarely reported in salivary gland tumors. Herein, two cases of carcinoma arising in pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland and showing diffuse expression of myoepithelial and melanocytic markers are described. The clinical-pathological clues useful in the differential diagnosis with melanoma are discussed. In addition, a review of the pertinent literature is also proposed, discussing the pathologic mechanisms potentially involved in this phenomenon.

Background: Salivary gland tumors are rare, generally benign and affect both major and minor salivary glands.Objective: To find out the pattern of distribution of different benign and malignant salivary gland epithelial tumors and their relation to age and sex in a tertiary care center in Bangladesh.Methodology: This is a retrospective study. Details of epithelial salivary gland tumors were obtained from department of ENT, National institute of cancer & research hospital (NICRH), Dhaka, Bangladesh from the period January 2009 to December 2012 (3 years).Result: A total number of 261 cases presenting with both benign and malignant salivary gland tumors were analyzed according to gender, age and histopathological findings. There were 130 (49.84%) males and 131 (50.19%) females with the male female ration of 1: 0.99. Age of study population ranged from 10 to 70 years with the mean age 40.78. Percentage of benign salivary gland tumors was 73.94% and malignant salivary gland tumor 26.05%. Among major salivary gland tumors, no sublingual tumors were found and parotid gland tumors were the commonest. Whereas, among minor salivary gland tumors palatal minor salivary tumors were common.Conclusion: Parotid gland was the most common site of origin of both benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. Histopathologically, pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign salivary gland tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most frequent malignant neoplasm. Adenoid cystic carcinoma was common minor salivary gland tumor.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(1) 2016 p.90-94

ABSTRACT Very few cases of oncocytoma parotid have been reported in literature. Because of its rarity (less than 1% of salivary gland tumors) and clinical presentation of the tumor, there is a tendency among the clinicians to misdiagnose it as pleomorphic adenoma, hemangioma or other forms of oncocytosis. Only a histopathological examination can confirm it. We report here a case of oncocytoma of parotid gland in a 70-year-old male who had the tumor for over 9 years.
