Abstract
Background: The aim of this paper was to know the epidemiological characteristics of the salivary gland tumors in a Mexican population.
Methods: A descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study was performed. All cases of salivary gland tumor were collected in a period of 5 years (2009-2014) in two hospitals of our State, the Hospital General de Veracruz and the Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad y Hospital de Especialidades No. 14, with the study of variables like: age, gender, location, biological behavior and histological type. The series studied included a total of 79 cases.
Results: 51% (40 cases) corresponded to female patients, the average age was 52.13 years (range of 14 to 87 years). The most frequent location of neoplasia was in the parotid gland (72%). The most frequent benign neoplasms were the pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor. The most frequent malignancy was cystic adenoid carcinoma, followed by moderately differentiated carcinoma.
Conclusions: our results are similar to those previously reported in Mexico. The main neoplasms were the pleomorphic adenoma as a benign tumor and as malignant tumors the adenoid cystic carcinoma and the moderately differentiated carcinoma.
