Abstract
Background: Primary Squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland is very rare with a reported incidence of about 0.3% to 1.5% of all salivary gland neoplasms. AIM – A review of 9 cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland with a view to better understand the neoplasm. Materials and Methods: All records of patients with the diagnosis of salivary gland cancer were retrieved from register of pathological diagnoses in the Department of Histopathology in the period January 2006 to December 2015. Incidence of rare cases were isolated and all their histological sections stained with H&E were revisited. The data and clinical history were collated and those with metastatic complications were excluded from this study. Results: The findings revealed that only 9 cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma of parotid gland were histologically confirmed during the study period. This is 0.002% (9/3933) of all malignant cases during the study period; 11.5% (9/78) of all salivary gland cancers and 2.1%(9/426) of all salivary gland neoplasms during the 10-year period. Of those affected, 77.8%(7/9) were males, and 22.2%(2/9) were females, with male to female ratio of 3.5:1. The mean age of patient was 42.3, with SD± 13.8, and the age range of (20-60) year. Squamous cell carcinoma occurred most frequently within the age range of 41-50 i.e. the 4th decade of life; Within this age group, 80%(4/5) of those with the condition were males while 20%(1/5) were females. Conclusion: This study concludes that patients within age range of 41-50 i.e. the 4th decade of life and males are more predisposed to squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland in this region.
