Abstract
Background: This study aims to assess the prevalence and correlation between age, gender, and site of malignant minor salivary gland tumors among patients attending a tertiary healthcare centre in Trivandrum from 2015 to 2022. A total of 26 cases were reviewed, with mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) being the most prevalent, followed by adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC). Our findings suggest a slight female predilection overall, though certain tumor types showed gender-specific trends. The study highlights important epidemiological insights that can help future research and clinical practice inmanaging malignant minor salivary gland tumors.
