Salivary gland tumors  


Tumors of the salivary glands are complex neoplasms with a number of heterogenous lesions with different biological behavior. Generally women are more often affected than men. About 80per cent of all salivary gland tumors in the oral cavity are benign, whereas malignancy predominantly occurs in the minor salivary glands. Of all the oral glands, the glandula parotis is with 80per cent the most frequent tumor. Clinically, it shows a slowly growing swelling which is able to be palpated well. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of all salivary glands, followed by the Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warhin tumor) and the basal cell adenoma.

Surgical removal is normally the treatment of choice. back




Welcome to Stomatopedia


Stomatopedia is a free educational platform for stomatology, oral pathology of the soft tissue diseases in children and adolescent. Oral soft tissue diseases exhibit distinctive clinical features and require visual recognition to establish an exact diagnosis. Therefore we share our clinical features with Paedriatricians, Medical Practitioners and Paediatric Dentists and we hope it will be helpful in distinguishing one lesion from another as a part of the diagnostic process. We have set our priority to lesions in children and adolescents and we hope this set focus will stress and develop cooperation. The editors are interested to create a lively exchange about the topics in pictures an in discussion.
