Introduction: Salivary gland swellings are common entity and annual incidence of tumors is 0.5-13.5% per 1 lakh population worldwide. Imaging and aspiration cytology have limited role in accurately diagnosing salivary lesions and hence microscopic diagnosis is essential. Aims and objectives: The aim of the study was to study frequency and histomorphological pattern of salivary gland lesions. Material and Methods: A retrospective study conducted (from January 2017 to December 2019) in Department of Pathology, Government Medical College. All patients diagnosed with (clinically or radiologically) salivary gland lesions were selected. Clinical details and histopathology slides were collected from hospital and histopathology records, respectively. Data obtained were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: A total of 39 cases were studied and majority of patients belonged to 31-50 years. In current study, tumors were common (53.8%) and benign tumors (76%) outnumbered malignant ones. Chronic sialadenitis (44.4%) was common among non-neoplastic lesions. Conclusion: Salivary gland lesions have morphological diversity and histopathology is crucial in deciding the final management of the patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
