Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Salivary gland tumors are rare neoplasms that generate interest due to their histopathological diversity. Several studies have reported a significant difference in the global distribution of salivary gland tumors, but no formal study has been carried out in this part of the globe. Aim: To study the histopathological spectrum of salivary gland lesions and to know the pattern of distribution in Tripura, a state in North Eastern India. Materials and Methods: This is a 7 years (2010-2016) retrospective study of all salivary gland tumor specimens received at our referral teaching hospital in Tripura, India. All the slides were reviewed by the authors. Clinical details were obtained from the archives. Data thus collected were analyzed. Results: A total of 46 cases were studied during the study period. Of them 37 cases were benign and 9 cases were malignant. Age ranged from 12 years to 88 years with an overall female preponderance. Parotid (78.26%) was the commonest gland involved. Both benign (29 out of 36 cases) and malignant tumors (7 out of 9 cases) were more common in parotid. Pleomorphic adenoma was the commonest benign tumor (25 cases) and adenoid cystic carcinoma was the commonest malignancy (4 cases). Conclusion: The principal site of salivary gland tumors was the parotid gland and pleomorphic adenoma outnumbered all the other tumors. Adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor.
