Abstract

Four hundred and seven cases of salivary gland tumors, obtained from Ishikawa Prefectural Central Hospital and Kanazawa University Hospital were studied. They were composed of 277 cases of benign tumors and 130 malignant tumors. Histologically they consisted of 224 pleomorphic adenomas, 40 monomorphic adenomas, 35 mucoepidermoid tumors, 8 acinic cell tumors, 40 adenoid cystic carcinomas, 17 adenocarcinomas, 8 epidermoid carcinomas, 6 undifferentiated carcinomas, 9 malignant pleomorphic adenomas (carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma), 8 hemangiomas, 6 malignant lymphomas and others. The frequency of the malignant tumors of the minor salivary glands was higher than that of the major salivary glands. Eleven tumors (2.7%) were noticed under age of 15. Histopathologically they were composed of 6 hemangiomas, 2 pleomorphic adenomas, one neurilemmona, one rabdomyosarcoma and one adenocarcinoma. The frequency of hemangioma in children was higher than that in adult. And the frequency of malignant tumors in children (18%) was lower than that in adult (32.3%). Ten tumors in children occurred in parotid and other one tumor occurred in submandibular gland. No tumor occurred in minor salivary gland.
