HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF NON NEOPLASTIC AND NEOPLASTIC LESION OF SALIVARY GLAND IN BIKANER REGION

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the histopathological diversity of salivary gland lesion. (Including Non neoplastic and neoplastic lesions.) This is a prospective study conducted in PBM hospital and associated group of hospitals in Bikaner Zone.  Material & Methods: Total 80 cases was included in this study.  Results: Out of 80 cases, 32 cases were non neoplastic, 48 cases were neoplastic. In neoplastic lesion 40 cases were benign, 8 cases were malignant. In Bikaner zone benign neoplasm was predominant than malignant neoplasm. Non neoplastic lesion most commonly involve submandibular gland. Neoplastic lesion most commanly involve parotid gland. Most common benign tumor was pleomorphic adenoma and most common malignant tumor was mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Conclusion: Timely diagnosis according to histology of salivary gland lesions decreases morbidity and mortality. And appropriate treatment according to nature of lesion weather it was non neo-plastic or non neoplastic. In neoplastic whether it was benign or malignant. In benign lesion surgical resection was only treatment, in malignant lesion after surgical resection chemotherapy or radiotherapy was given, and follow up of cases.
