Material and methods： a retrospective study on salivary glands tumors diagnosed at Almoasat hospital, the main hospital in Damascus, from 2009 to 2016. We measured the data related to patient age, gender, tumor site and the histopathologic diagnosis. Results： out of 158 cases over eight years, 62.2% was benign tumors, 9.4% was malignant tumors and 28.4% was inflammatory lesions. Pleomotphic adenoma was the most occurring tumor （47.7%）, followed by Warthin tumor （30.9%） and mucoepidermoid carcinoma （6.1%）. Lesions in minor salivary glands compromised （11.03%）. The peak ages of incidence were the third and fourth decades （38.35%）. A slight predilection for females was observed. Conclusion： the results of this study are similar to the previous studies in other countries. However differences were observed as to the frequencies of histopathologic types. These differences could be attributed to racial factor and the latest five years of war in Syria.展开更多

Material and methods： a retrospective analysis of gross and light microscopic features 50 salivary glands tumors that were treated and diagnosed at Almoasat hospital, the main hospital in Damascus. Only benign salivary glands tumors were included in this study, mainly pleomorphic adenoma and warthin＇s tumor. Results： 158 cases were studied from 2009 to 2016. Pleomotphic adenoma was the most occurring tumor （47.7%）, followed by Warthin tumor （30.9%） and mucoepidermoid carcinoma （6.1%）. Lesions of in minor salivary glands compromised （11.03%）. Only pleomorphic adenoma and warthin＇s tumor were included in the practical part of the study. All specimens showed a total negativity for P53 when they were studied under the light microscope. Conclusion： the result of this study agreed with some previously studies in other countries and was not similar to others in other countries. No differences were observed as to the type of the tumor. These results could be related to racial factors.展开更多
