Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Lesions that affect salivary glands are a group of clinic entities ranging from local pathological alterations to the manifestation of systemic diseases. Objective: The aim of this study was to observe the prevalence of cases of lesions regarding salivary glands in patients of dental clinic of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUCPR). Material and methods: A total of 1990 histopathologic reports was analyzed in data of Experimental Pathology Laboratory of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná, in the period of 1999 to 2008. Seventy-three cases of salivary glands diseases were analyzed,according to sex, age and histopathologic diagnosis. Results: Mucocele was the most prevalent lesion, with 58 cases (2.9%). Others diseases were diagnosed, such as: pleomorphic adenoma (0.3%), cystic adenoid carcinoma (0.1%), sialoadenitis (0.1%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (0.05%), Sjögren’s syndrome (0.05%), ranula (0.05%) and adenomatoid hyperplasia (0.05%). No predilection for sex was observed, but the majority of diseases occurred principally during the three first life decades. Conclusion: These findings reinforce that the occurrence of lesions associated to the salivary glands is low when compared to others oral diseases. The more common pathological entities that affect salivary glands are associated to traumatic agents and affect adult male young patients.
