“…About 64 to 80% of all primary salivary gland epithelial tumors involved the parotid gland and are mostly located in the superficial lobe. 8 Our study comprised of 34 cases of benign and 21 cases of malignant primary parotid gland tumours. The incidence of salivary gland tumors peaks in the sixth and seventh decades of life; the mean age was 46 years 3 .…”

“…7,9 Most of the reviews of salivary gland tumor series showed that more females were affected more than males in both benign and malignant cases. 8,14,17 This varied with the type of tumor; for example, males predominate in Warthin's tumor. 2 Ito et al 12 found that there were more female patients in benign tumors (58.5%), whereas males predominated in malignant tumors (52.2%).…”

“…Few cases of bilateral presentation have been reported in retroviral positive patients. 8 The diagnosis of a parotid gland neoplasm must be considered in any patient with lump near the ascending ramus of the mandible. The clinical presentation of these tumors could be a mass in the pre-auricular or infra-auricular region, or an isolated mass at the lower border of the mandible.…”

Objective: Salivary gland tumors are mostly slow growing and painless. Majorities are located in the parotid glands and are benign. Treatment of these parotid tumors may endanger the facial nerve. This study evaluated the clinical presentation and management of parotid gland tumors in Kaduna, North-west, Nigeria. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients that were treated for parotid gland tumors at the Maxillofacial Unit of Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, Kaduna, North-west, Nigeria over a period of 13years (January 2008 to December, 2020). Patients’ records were analyzed for age, sex, clinical presentation, investigations, surgical management, histological diagnosis and outcome of treatment. Results: A total of 55 patients with parotid gland tumors were seen. Age range was 12 - 75 years with a mean of 45.5 (SD± 0.7) years. The male: female ratio was found to be 1.1: 1. Pleomorphic adenoma was the commonest tumour (n=28, 50.9%). Four (7.3%) patients who had been on antiretroviral medications were seen with massive tumors. Superficial parotidectomy was the commonest surgical procedure carried out in these patients. Patients with malignancies were referred for post-surgical radiotherapy. High early recurrences were noticed in patients who were retroviral positive. Conclusion: Pleomorphic adenoma was commonest tumors treated and superficial parotidectomy was the commonest surgical procedure performed for the treatment of parotid gland tumors. Post-operative radiotherapy as an adjunct was carried out in cases with diagnosis of malignant lesions.
