Salivary Gland Tumours Through 5-Year Follow-Up : A Retrospective Single-Centre Study

The aim of our study was to analyse the prevalence of salivary gland tumours through 5-years of follow-up. Study was designed as a retrospective analysis of patients, who underwent surgery of tumour removal in our centre between 2005 till 2017 and were followed up for 5 years. The demographic characteristics (age and gender) were obtained from 247 patient records. Pearson’s χ-square test and logistic regression were used to analyse the data, where p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Overall 247 cases were analysed and followed up for 5 years after surgical removal of tumours. Mean age of patients was 51.0±19.5 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1.1:1. Female patients were statistically younger compared to male patients (p=0.017). The most common tumour was found at parotid gland in 154 (62.3%) cases. Adenoma pleomorphe was diagnosed in 125 (50.6%) cases. Superficial parotidectomy was performed in 44 (17.8%), and surgical extirpation in 143 (57.9%) cases. Recurrences of tumour occurred in 16 (6.5%) patients and metastases occurred in 6 (2.4%) patients. This was the first study of such kind from the region. Female show a bimodal age distribution and were more affected with adenoma pleomorphe than men. Relatively low recurrence rate was observed after at 5 years of follow-up. Risk factors for recurrence were positive on histological type of tumour and patients’s age. Clinical article (J Int Dent Med Res 2019; 12(3): 1035-1041)
