“…However, other authors have reported a higher frequency of both benign and malignant SGTs in females [4] [8]. Benign SGTs were more frequent in the major salivary glands, with the parotid being the most common site for SGTs in general, and for the benign SGTs, which is similar to most reports in the literature [3] [14] [28] [29]. Malignant SGTs on the other hand were more frequent in the minor salivary glands, with a preference for the palate.…”

Background: Salivary gland tumours (SGTs) are rare, but recent reports suggest an increasing incidence. Although there are previous Nigerian studies on the patterns of SGTs, patterns and trends of disease may change over time. The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of presentation of SGTs, and to determine the trends in occurrence of SGTs at Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Gombe over a period of 15 years. Method: This descriptive study included cases of histologically diagnosed SGTs from January 2008 to December 2022. Relevant information (age, gender, site, year of diagnosis, and histopathologic diagnosis) was extracted from the cancer registers and histopathologic records. The lesions were then categorized into benign and malignant SGTs and grouped into three groups spanning 5 years each based on the year of diagnosis. Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 23, and p ≤

“…However, a signi cant amount of literature from various parts of the world found that AdCC is the most common malignant SGT [10,15,26,[30][31][32]. The other unexpected nding in the current study was the higher number of MEC cases in the minor salivary glands as compared to that of the major salivary glands.…”

Background: Tumors of salivary gland are morphologically and clinically diverse group of neoplasms, which may present considerable diagnostic and management of challenges to the pathologist or surgeons.It account’s about 4% of all epithelial neoplasms in head and neck region. These comprise a wide variety of benign and malignant neoplasms, and non-neoplastic lesions which exhibit a difference in biological behaviors. Therefor it is important to study the morphological patterns of salivary gland neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. Methods and Materials: A retrospective cross-sectional study design was applied for Salivary gland lesions patients diagnosed at Jimma university medical center from September 2016 to August 2020. Results: from the total of 176 patients 135(76.7%) were neoplastic and the remaining 41(23.3%) were non-neoplastic lesions. Being in the age group of 21-40[odds ratio=5.172, 41-60[odds ratio =4.534], and having the lesions for duration >24 months [odds ratio 12.479] and the size of the mass >5 cm [odds ratio =19.486]were associated increased odds of neoplastic lesions, while the site of the lesions being in major groups of salivary glands [odds ratio=0.056] was associated with decreased likelihood of neoplastic Salivary gland lesions. Conclusion: The prevalence of neoplastic salivary lesions was three times more common than non-neoplastic ones and malignancies were slightly more common than benign lesions. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the commonest malignant while Pleomorphic adenoma was the commonest benign Salivary gland lesions both in females and males. The neoplastic Salivary gland lesions were highly associated with age, duration, tumor size and minor groups of salivary glands.

“…Previous literature data report that minor salivary glands show a higher prevalence of malignant tumors compared to the major glands 8,12,[33][34][35][36] . Nevertheless, another study also showed greater involvement of the parotid gland in both malignant and benign tumors 37 . According to Mahomed and Meer 28 discrepancies in studies about the proportion of malignant and benign neoplasms could be attributed to sample characteristics (such as tobacco and drug use, occupational exposure, and immune suppression).…”

Introdução: Os tumores que afetam as glândulas salivares apresentam vasta diversidade morfológica. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência de neoplasias de glândulas salivares em pacientes atendidos no Hospital São Lucas da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (HSL-PUCRS), em Porto Alegre (RS), no período de 2007 a 2016. Método: Estudo retrospectivo por meio da análise de 201 arquivos do Departamento de Patologia do HSL-PUCRS. Resultados: Foram encontrados 73 casos de neoplasias de glândulas salivares e os prontuários eletrônicos e físicos dos casos selecionados foram analisados. Dos 73 casos, 56 (76,7%) eram de neoplasias benignas e 17 (23,3%) de neoplasias malignas. A faixa etária com maior número de casos foi entre 41 e 60 anos e o sexo feminino apresentou a maior prevalência com 54,8%. A glândula parótida apresentou maior prevalência, perfazendo 72,6% dos casos. O tipo neoplásico mais prevalente foi o adenoma pleomórfico, com 53,4%. O padrão de distribuição das neoplasias de glândulas salivares foi semelhante ao encontrado em outras Regiões do Brasil. Conclusão: As glândulas salivares maiores foram as mais afetadas pelos processos neoplásicos. Adenoma pleomórfico e carcinoma adenoide cístico foram os tumores benignos e malignos mais frequentes, respectivamente, e a glândula parótida foi o local mais acometido. Com base na literatura prévia, esses resultados permitem inferir que algumas características demográficas (por exemplo, sexo e idade) variam entre as diferentes Regiões geográficas.
