NEOPLASMS OF THE SALIVARY GLAND
NEOPLASMS OF THE SALIVARY GLAND
Primary salivary gland neoplasms are extremely rare and form less than 3% of head and neck malignancies. The incidence is 0.4–13.5 cases per 100 /uni00A0 000 for benign neoplasms and 0.4–2.6 per 100 /uni00A0 000 for malignant tumours. These neoplasms present after the fourth decade and a ff ect both sexes equally . Warthin’s tumours are more common in older men, while pleomorphic adenomas are slightly more common in women. With a varied spectrum of pathologies, salivary gland neo - plasms present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The World Health Organization (WHO) first classified these in - 1972, and its last update was in 2017 ( Table 54.3 ). Most sali - - vary gland tumours (>80%) occur in the major saliv ary glands and the majority of them are benign. Minor salivary gland tumours, in contrast, are more likely to be malignant (>50%) ( Figure 54.9 ). The commonest benign neoplasm is the pleo - morphic adenoma (mostly seen in the parotid glands), w hile the commonest malignant tumour is the mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Radiation exposure has been implicated in the develop - ment of both benign and malignant salivary gland tumours , while there is a strong association of smoking with Warthin’s tumour. Viral infections , environmental factors and industrial exposure, such as rubber manufacturing, nickel compounds and hair dyes, have been reported to be associated with the development of salivary gland tumours. /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF Thomas Hodgkin , 1798–1866, curator of the museum and demonstrator of Morbid Anatomy , Guy’s Hospital, London, UK, described lymphadenoma in 1832. /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF
