ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Salivary gland tumors (SGT) correspond to a heterogeneous group of lesions with variable biological behavior. The present study aimed to determine the distribution and demographic findings of salivary gland neoplasms in a northeast Brazilian population. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 588 cases of SGT were diagnosed between 2006 and 2016 of 4 pathology services in the state of Sergipe, Brazil. All cases were reviewed, and data such as sex, age, anatomical location, and histopathological diagnosis were collected.RESULTS:
A total of 470 (79.9%) tumors were benign and 118 (20.1%) were malignant. The majority of the patients were females (n = 328, 55.8%) with an overall female male ratio of 1.21. The major salivary glands were affected more than the minor glands (69.5% vs. 30.5%). Pleomorphic adenoma (n = 419, 71.3%) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (n = 29, 4.9%) were the most frequent benign and malignant tumors, respectively. In addition, both benign and malignant tumors occurred more frequently in the parotid gland (n = 300, 51%, p < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
The epidemiologic profile and clinical characteristics of SGT were similar to those described in other countries and other regions of Brazil. Epidemiological studies of SGT help to understand their clinical and pathological features and are essential to establish the proper management and prognosisRESUMEN
