Description
Introduction: Salivary-glands tumors come in various presentations and the epidemiological data are variable. The aim of this retrospective study was to establish an epidemiological profile of salivary-glands tumors in a Tunisian teaching hospital and to compare it to published data. Patients and methods: The study was made on 76 men and 80 women with a mean age of 43 years (five months to 85 years). Sixty percent of the tumors were parotid lesions, 16% were submandibular and 24% located on minor salivary glands. Eighty-four percent of parotid tumors were benign. Malignant-parotid tumors often affected men over 60 years of age. Most minor salivary-glands tumors were located on the palate. Discussion: Benign salivary-glands tumors, often have a parotid localization affect, more women in the Tunisian population. Contrary to the literature, in our series, malignant tumors were predominant in women. © 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
