Intraoral salivary gland neoplasms: A retrospective study of seventy cases in an African population

Patterns of salivary tumours at a university teaching hospital in Kenya

“…In general the age profile in the African continent has been seen to be much younger than in the western countries where these tumours appear a decade or two later among the elderly [18,19]. A bimodal age peak as seen in this study has also been reported in Nigeria, Uganda and South Africa with peaks in the 2nd and 5th decades [20,21]. …”

Intraoral minor salivary gland tumors: A retrospective study of 129 cases.

“…There have been several studies reporting differences in the frequency and distribution of minor salivary gland tumors (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). The purpose of this study was to determine the relative frequency and intraoral location of benign and malignant tumors of minor salivary glands in certain Japanese population groups (Kanto districts) and to provide data for comparison with other epidemiological findings in different geographic locations worldwide.…”

A clinicopathologic study of 196 intraoral minor salivary gland tumors

“…10 It has been suggested that gender distribution in SGTs is related to ethnic variations. 4,22 In conclusion, in the present population, PA was the most common neoplasm, the palate was the most commonly affected site, and female tendency of MSGTs was seen. Ad.CC was the most common malignancy as some other Asian nations.…”

“…This difference was higher in our population than the previous studies, reporting a range from 2.9 years in Thais to 13.3 years in African population. 11,22 This finding is due to the fact that in our series, patients with benign tumors were younger (mean age: 35) while others have stated that the mean age of the affected patients with these neoplasms was from 40 in Chinese to 49 in Japanese. 3,4 Overall, the incidence of MSGTs was higher in females (M/F ratio was 1:1.27).…”
