Abstract
Introduction: Salivary gland lesions constitute <1% of all tumors and about less than 4% of all epithelial neoplasm in head and neck region and are therefore relatively rare. These tumors not uncommonly pose problems in diagnosis due to rarity, broad morphologic spectrum and morphologic overlap among the different tumor types .Proper diagnosis of malignant tumors with accurate staging is very important in the treatment and management of the patient
Aims and objectives: To study the histopathological spectrum of salivary gland neoplasm in patients presenting to a tertiary care center
Materials and methods: The present study was conducted in the Pathology department of Dr.Shankarrao Chavan Government Medical College and Hospital , Nanded , on the surgically resected salivary gland tumor specimens received for routine histopathological evaluation, from January 2020 to January 2021.
Results: In the present study parotid gland was the most commonly affected i.e., in 41(78.85%) patients followed by submandibular gland in 9 (17.31%) patients and 2(3.84%) patients had lesions in minor salivary glands. Among the 43 neoplastic lesions, 31 (72.09%) cases were be nignneoplasms and 12(27.91%) were malignantneoplasms. Pleomorphic Adenoma was the most common salivary gland tumor followed by war thin tumor. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was reported to be the most common malignant salivary gland tumor
Conclusion: Salivary gland tumors are relatively less common and they exhibit a wide variety of microscopic appearances even within one particular lesion. Accurate diagnosis is essential as salivary gland neoplasm have diverse clinical and prognostic outcomes.
