Abstract
Background: Salivary gland tumors represent the most complex and diverse group of tumors encountered by the pathologist. Their diagnosis and management is complicated by their relative infrequency, the limited amount of pretreatment information available and the wide range of biologic behavior seen with the different pathologic lesions. It may vary from low grade tumour to high grade tumour and often fatal malignancy. These circumstances make this cancer a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This is a retrospective study till date done at Pathology Department, K.D. medical hospital and research centre, Mathura, India. All the cases of Salivary gland tumors, which had been recorded in a two and half year period from 2015 to 2018, were enrolled in the study. Results: Total number of cases studied were 60. Out of which 37 were benign (61.67%) and 23 were malignant (38.33%). Among benign tumours, Pleomorphic adenoma was found to be the commonest tumour. The Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor . Females are affected more commonly than males in both groups. Conclusion: The histopathological study of salivary gland neoplasms is complex and diverse. Accurate diagnosis is essential as salivary gland neoplasms have diverse clinical and prognostic outcomes. -
