“…The clinical behaviour of the squamous carcinoma appears to be more sinister than the mucoepidermoid variety (Table V). This is in agreement with the findings of Patey et al (1965) who showed that the squamous carcinomas in their series had an extremely poor prognosis.…”

ALTHOUGH there is a voluminous amount of literature on salivary gland tumours, investigations based on significantly large number of cases have been relatively few. From this part of the world, reliable information is even less readily obtainable. In the present series, 670 salivary gland tumours are available for study. It is hoped that this large material may furnish additional data on these tumours and on those aspects which are peculiar to Malaya in particular. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis study is based on the material collected in the Pathology Division of the Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, over the eighteen year period from 1948-1965 inclusive. The material comprised 670 cases of salivary gland tumours.All histological sections were re-examined. Only the brief clinical histories which accompanied the specimens were available. These were studied in relation to the different histological types. RESULTS FrequencyThe State of Selangor, which contains the capital of Malaya, has the best records and medical facilities. The standardised rate for salivary gland tumours computed in this state is therefore taken as a representative example.In the year 1965, the end-of-year population figure is given as 694,064 males and 645,078 females in Selangor. During this year, 14 new cases of salivary gland tumours were seen, 9 of which were in males and 5 in females. This gives an incidence rate as follows: Males:

“…The frequency of malignant parotid tumours also follow the same general pattern as other series. Patey, Thackray and Keeling (1965) reviewed some of the larger series published since 1950 and found that the figures quoted for the frequency of malignant parotid tumours ranged from 15% to 31%.…”

“…In a study by Bernicker et al of 65 patients with RCC metastasis to the head and neck, none of the patients presented with parotid metastasis [6]. The first case of RCC metastatic to the parotid gland was published by Patey et al in 1965 [7]. Since then there have only been 45 reported cases reported in the English literature [5,39].…”

Metastatic tumors involving salivary glands arising from the non-head and neck area are very rare. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is known for its high propensity for metastasis to unusual localizations. RCC metastasis to the maxillofacial area is an uncommon event (16%), but metastasis to salivary glands is extremely rare. We report a series of 9 such cases retrieved from two institutions. The group included 6 females and 3 males. The age at diagnosis ranged from 60 to 97 years (mean 72.6 years). The tumors involved the parotid gland in 7 cases, and the submandibular and small salivary gland of the oral cavity in 1 case each. The size of tumors ranged from 0.4 to 5 cm. Total parotidectomy with selective neck dissection was performed in 4 cases, while superficial parotidectomy was performed in 1 case and simple resection in 3 cases. Histologically, all the tumors were clear cell renal cell carcinomas, and therefore the differential diagnosis mainly included clear cell variants of salivary gland carcinomas. The parotid gland was the initial manifestation of renal malignancy in 4 of the cases, while in the remaining 5 cases a history of RCC had been known. The salivary gland involvement developed from 11 months to 13 years after the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor. In 2 cases it was the first site of dissemination. Pathologists need to maintain a high index of suspicion for the possibility of metastasis when confronted with oncocytic or clear cell neoplasms developing in salivary glands. RCC, although rare, should be included in this differential diagnosis.
