Abstract |
703 oral salivary gland pathology cases from 2014 to 2023 out of 6,143 biopsies (11.4%) were analysed. Non-neoplastic lesions accounted for 89%, with mucocele being most common (84.2%). Among neoplasms, 59% were benign-primarily pleomorphic adenoma-and 41% were malignant, with mucoepidermoid carcinoma most frequent. The distribution patterns aligned with known literature, though malignant cases were comparatively higher. |
