A Study on Evaluation of Salivary Gland Tumors Diagnosed Using Computed Tomography (CT)
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Tumours of salivary glands are heterogenous in nature and represent with complex clinical and pathological features. When malignant tumours are concerned, the mucoepidermoid carcinoma, the cystic adenoid carcinomas are very amongst the commonly found cases. The present study was aimed to establish the different salivary gland pathologies diagnosed on radiological and histological basis. Material and methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Radiology during a period of 1 year. The study was conducted from August 2016 to September 2017. Patients elaborate history was obtained and all the patients underwent CT to confirm the radiological extent of salivary gland neoplasm. Biopsy of the sample was done to confirm the histopathological diagnosis. All the data obtained was arranged in a tabulated form and analysed using SPSS software. Results: There were 24 malignant tumours of parotid gland, 4 in submandibular and 16 in minor salivary gland. Acinar cell carcinoma accounted for 50% of submandibular tumours. There were 37 benign tumours of parotid gland, 16 in submandibular and 12 in minor salivary gland. 1 benign tumour was seen in sublingual salivary gland. Pleomorphic adenoma accounted for 86.5% of benign parotid tumours. . In case of malignant tumours they were clear in 23 and poor in 21 cases. The contour was smooth in 38 benign and 18 malignant tumours. The contour was irregular in 1 benign and 12 malignant tumours. Conclusion: Salivary gland neoplasms are not commonly seen. Pleomorphic adenoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma are the most commonly seen tumours of salivary gland. CT scan is useful in diagnosing tumours of salivary glands but it is difficult to differentiate malignant from benign tumours based of only on CT scan findings.
