“…This is in agreement with findings reported by some investigators [5,[12][13][14][15]. According to World Health Organization and some previous studies MEC is the most frequent malignant tumor and ACC is the second [1,3,4,6].…”

“…This is in agreement with previously published studies [3,[7][8][9][10][11][12], though other epidemiological studies showed a predominance of less than 60% for benign tumors [13,14]. Worldwide studies show geographic variation in the relative incidence of salivary gland tumors with differences in histological type [2,8].…”

“…The most frequent in this study was adenoid cystic carcinoma. This is in agreement with findings reported by some investigators [7,11,13,15], but in contrast with other studies that reported mucoepidermoid carcinoma to be the most common malignant tumor [3, 8-10, 13, 14]. Adenocarcinoma NOS was the second most common malignant type, involving 5.8% of all tumors, as described by Ansari et al [3].…”

“…Benign tumors affected mostly women, though no statistical difference was observed for sex, in agreement with other epidemiological series [9][10][11]. In the present study, age distribution varied from 1 to 88 years-old, with a median of 45 years of age and a peak incidence from 30 to 39 years of age, as reported by other authors [3,[9][10][11][12][13][14]. The median age for malignant tumors (55 years old) was significantly higher than for benign tumors (43 years old).…”

“…According to other studies [10,12], Warthin's tumor was the third most diagnosed of all salivary gland tumors involving 6.4% of cases, with the majority located in the parotid gland (94.7%). In this work, it was the second most common benign tumor representing 8.2% of cases, as has also been observed in other Brazilian studies [9][10][11]. Malignant tumors represented 21.7% of all salivary gland tumors.…”

Salivary gland tumors consist of a group of heterogeneous lesions with complex clinicopathological characteristics and distinct biological behaviors. Worldwide series show a contrast in the relative incidence of salivary gland tumors, with some discrepancies in clinicopathological data. The main aim of this study was to describe demographic characteristics of 599 cases in a population from Central Brazil over a 10-year period and compare these with other epidemiological studies. Benign tumors represented 78.3% of the cases. Women were the most affected (61%) and the male:female ratio was 1:1.6. Parotid gland tumors were the most frequent (68.5% of cases) and patient age ranged from 1 to 88 years-old (median of 45 years old). The most frequent tumors were pleomorphic adenomas (68.4%) and benign tumors were significantly more frequent in the parotid (75.9%), while malignant tumors were more frequent in the minor salivary glands (40%) (P \ 0.05). In conclusion, women and the parotid gland were the most affected and pleomorphic adenoma was the most frequent lesion, followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma and Warthin's tumor.

Background Salivary gland tumors are rare in pediatric patients and include both benign and malignant types. Although fine‐needle aspiration cytology is widely used to diagnose salivary gland tumors in adults, such diagnostic techniques in pediatric patients are still poorly applied and studied. Nevertheless, a preoperative diagnostic definition of salivary gland lesions is highly recommended to plan a correct surgical management and to avoid over‐treatment of inflammatory or reactive lesions. Methods The authors performed a retrospective analysis on a series of salivary gland lesions—both neoplastic and non‐neoplastic—in pediatric patients who underwent fine‐needle aspiration. When obtainable, the corresponding histological diagnoses were retrieved. The authors calculated the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of fine‐needle aspiration in this clinical setting and evaluated the diagnostic agreement between cytology and histology. Results The series included 34 cases of salivary gland lesions in patients aged <20 years, including 21 benign neoplasms and 6 malignant neoplasms. Cytological samples were adequate for diagnosis in 32 of 34 cases, and a definitive cytological diagnosis was achieved in 29 of 34 cases. Cytology demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.92 and a specificity of 0.86 for the diagnosis of salivary gland tumors, and a comparison between the diagnostic performance of cytology and histology demonstrated statistically significant concordance between the 2 techniques. Conclusions Fine‐needle aspiration cytology shows high accuracy in the diagnosis of pediatric salivary gland tumors, with diagnostic sensitivity and specificity similar to those reported for adult patients.
