Abstract
Salivary gland neoplasms represent only about 3 to 4% of all head and neck tumors. This study shows a registry of cases showing salivary gland neoplasms received by the department of Pathology, Kasr El Aini Hospital, during the period from January 2006 till December 2010. This work also comprises the determination of the frequency and distribution of these tumors as a group in a sample of Egyptian patients. Statistical evaluation of clinical and patient data and that of the pathological findings available in the request sheet is done to analyze these data.
Material and Methods: This work includes 140 cases of salivary gland neoplasms obtained through collection of all archived cases of salivary gland tumors during the period from January 1, 2006 till December 31, 2010 from the Pathol-ogy Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Kasr El Aini Hospital. The available archived H&E. Glass slides were obtained and revised. The paraffin blocks were cut 5u thick and stained by hematoxylin and eosin for histopathogical examination.
Results: 140 cases were collected. The patient’s age ranged from 6 to 84 years with male predominance 76 (54%), 99 cases (70.7%) were of parotid origin, 30 cases (21.4%) were of minor salivary gland origin and 11 cases were sub-mandibular in origin (7.9%). The predominant histopathologic type was pleomorphic adenoma 61 cases (43.6%).
Conclusion: Many variations were seen between the results of salivary gland neoplasms in Egyptian patients and those obtained by other studies in different parts of the world. However, many clinical characteristics of the diseases were in agreement with most studies all over the world.
