A Clinical Study of Salivary Gland Tumors

We reviewed retrospectively 152 patients' records with salivary gland tumors confirmed histologically at Hanyang University Hospital from Jan. 1984 to Dec. 1993. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Sites of tumors were parotid gland in 102 cases(67%), submandibular gland in 29 cases(19%) and minor salivary glands in 21 cases (14%). 2) 113 cases(74%) were benign. and 39 cases(26%) were malignant. 3) The incidence of benign and malignant tumors were 81% & 19%, 69% & 31% and 48% & 52% in the parotid gland, the submandibular gland and the minor salivary glands respectively. 4) The most frequent histologic types of benign and malignant tumors were pleomorphic adenoma (64%) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (11%) respectively. 5) The surgical procedures include superficial parotidectomy. total parotidectomy. extended total parotidectomy & neck dissection in the parotid gland. wide excision & neck dissection in the submandibular gland and wide excision, partial maxillectomy & neck dissection in the minor salivary glands. 6) The postoperative recurrence rate were 4.4% in benign tumors and 27% in malignant tumors.
