| dc.description.abstract | Aim: This study presents a review of the clinicopathological features of excised submandibular glands over a 16 year period of time at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. Materials and methods: A retrospective review of excised submandibular glands over a period of 16 years (January 1990 to December 2005) was conducted. Parameters studied included: age and gender of patients, symptoms and duration of symptoms and histologic diagnosis. Results: A total of 47 patients had their submandibular gland excised during the period of the study. There were 28 men and 19 women (men : women ratio of 1.5:1). Mean age [standard deviation (SD)] of patients at presentation was 40.5 18.1 years (range, 13–84 years). There were 34 (72%) histologically diagnosed neoplasms and 13 (28%) non-neoplastic pathologies. Patients with neoplastic pathologies were significantly older than those with non-neoplastic pathologies (P = 0.004). The most common neoplasm was pleomorphic adenoma (35%), followed by adenocystic carcinoma (12%) and anaplastic carcinoma (12%). Chronic sialadenitis with or without sialolithiasis (85%) was the most common non-neoplastic pathology. Conclusion: The most common submandibular salivary gland pathology that necessitated surgical excision, in our institution, was neoplasia, predominately pleomorphic adenomas. The most common non-neoplastic pathology was chronic sialadenitis with or without sialolithiasis. | en_US |
