Abstract
Salivary gland tumours account for 2-6.5% of all the neoplasms of the Head and Neck. Histopathology is most important in diagnosis of salivary gland tumors. AIMS and OBJECTIVES : To study age,sex and site distribution of various salivary gland lesions, to study the histomorphologic (gross &microscopic) aspect of these lesions to correlate clinical diagnosis with that of histopathologic features. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study is conducted in the RAINBOW CLINICAL LABORATORY AND RESEARCH CENTRE, SIDDIPET during the period of September2018 to September 2020. Formalin fixed ,paraffin embedded sections and stained with hematoxylin and eosin slides were studied. RESULTS: Total number of specimens were 54. Out of these 39 were neoplastic (benign 70%,malignant 30%) and 15 were non neoplastic. Among the benign tumors majority are pleomorphic adenoma.Among the malignant tumors, mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common. Among the non neoplastic lesions chronic sialadenitis is most common. CONCLUSION: Histopathological examination of salivary gland lesions stands out to be the most important method in establishing the final diagnosis. It helps in differentiating non neoplastic and neoplastic lesions.
