A REVIEW OF SINONASAL SALIVARY GLAND TYPE TUMOURS FROM CASE FILES OF A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Abstract
Background and Objective - Malignancies
of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses account
for 0.2-0.8 percentage of all malignant
neoplasms and 3 percentage of those
occurring in head and neck. In sinonasal
tumours 60 percentage occur in maxillary
sinus, 20-30 percentage in nasal cavity, 1
percentage in sphenoid and 15 percentage
in ethmoid sinus. This study analyses the
clinical and pathological findings of sinonasal
salivary gland type tumours reported in
our institution in the past 6 years. Materials
and methods - The clinical and pathological
materials of 20 patients diagnosed with
salivary gland type tumours from Jan 2007
to Dec 2012 were considered for the
study. The clinical and pathological findings
were evaluated. Results - Of the 20
cases reported, the most common histological
subtype was adenoid cystic carcinoma
followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
About 73 percentage occurred in
females and 27 percentage in males. Average
age of presentation was 51 years.
Out of the 20 cases 3 were recurrent lesions.
Conclusion - A knowledge about
the heterogeneous types of salivary gland
tumors in nose and paranasal sinuses
help in their correct diagnosis, proper
treatment and prediction of their clinical
behavior.
