Abstract

AbstractTumors arise much less frequently in the submaxillary gland than in the parotid gland; however, the incidence of malignancy is higher in submaxillary neoplasms. The records of 50 patients with submaxillary gland tumors were reviewed and the findings compared with those of other recent series. Malignant tumors of the submaxillary gland were found to behave aggressively, and poor results were obtained in treating these lesions, especially when recurrences were present. It is felt that a planned approach consisting of adequate initial resection would lead to improved results.
