Conduct an epidemiologic cases survey of salivary gland lesions seen in the pathology sector in a university hospital in the period from 2013 to 2019 and carry out an integrative review.
This is a cross-sectional study, with a duration of 7 years. Through the analysis of clinical records of patients diagnosed with salivary gland lesions in the pathology sector, the following information was collected: sex, age, lesion site, and histopathologic diagnosis.
One hundred forty-three salivary gland lesions were diagnosed; 60.1% were nonneoplastic salivary gland lesions (NNSGLs), and mucous extravasation phenomena represented 81.4% of NNSGLs. The neoplastic salivary gland lesions (NSGLs) represented 39.9% of all cases. Most of these injuries were benign neoplasms (88%), with an emphasis on pleomorphic adenoma (PA; 68%). Only 7 malignant salivary gland neoplasms were found.
NNSGL was more prevalent than NSGL, with an emphasis on the mucus leakage phenomenon, which most affected the lower lip salivary glands. Among NSGLs, benign neoplasms were the most common and PA was the most diagnosed, with the parotid gland being the most affected site.
