“…The frequency observed in the literature of WT ranged from 9% to 28%. 11,12 Most bilateral parotid gland tumors are WT and bilateralism occurred in four out of 52 cases in our study permitted the following conclusions. 12 Basal cell adenoma occurred only in the parotid gland.…”

Background: Salivary gland tumors constitute a highly heterogeneous histopathologic group. There are few epidemiological studies of large series of benign and malignant epithelial tumors of major salivary glands in South India.Methods: This is a retrospective study in a tertiary care centre in Kerala, South India. A total of 180 epithelial neoplasms of major salivary gland were studied over a 5 year period. In each case age, sex, anatomical location and histopathological diagnosis were recorded.Results: Patients with benign and malignant tumors presented with a mean age of 52.3 and 55.9 years respectively. The frequency of benign tumors was 80.6% (n = 145) and of malignant tumors was 19.4% (n = 35). There was a higher prevalence of tumors in males 60.6% (n = 109) than in females 39.4% (n = 71). 91.9% (n = 164) of the tumors were localized in the parotid gland, 8.3% (n = 15) in the submandibular gland and 0.6% (n = 1) in the sublingual gland. The most common benign tumors were Pleomorphic adenoma (48.9%, n = 88) and Warthin’s tumor (28.9%, n = 52). Among malignant tumors, Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common (9.5%, n = 17) followed by Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (2.8%, n = 5) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (2.2%, n = 4).Conclusions: Parotid gland was the most common site of both benign and malignant tumours. Plemorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor.

“…4 However, pleomorphic adenoma had been listed universally as the most common tumor in all the studies with a range of 40-72%. 10,14,15 Warthin tumor (13.51%) was the second commonest benign tumor similar to the observation of Chung et al 16 Out of 25 cases of pleomorphic adenomas 18 involved parotid, 4 involved submandibular gland and 3 cases involved minor salivary glands. All the five cases of Warthin tumor affected only the parotid gland, which is similar to the finding reported by Laishram et al 4 In the present series adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most common salivary gland tumor comprising 44.44% cases (4 cases out of 9 malignancies)[ Fig.2].…”

“…However, there is some increased risk for the development of second primary cancers of the oropharynx, thyroid gland and lung, especially for those whose salivary gland cancers were treated with radiotherapy (6). Unlike other head and neck cancers, alcohol and smoking abuse are not associated with increased risk for developing salivary gland neoplasms with the exception of a greatly increased risk and association of smoking with Warthin's tumor (7)(8)(9). One interesting finding, unconfirmed by others, is an elevated risk of salivary gland cancer in women employed as hairdressers and those working in beauty salons (10).…”
