Submandibular gland excisions reveal more non-neoplastic than neoplastic conditions. Malignancies, though less common, behave aggressively, necessitating prompt treatment for submandibular gland masses.

Area of Science:

  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Submandibular gland masses can represent a spectrum of pathologies.
  • Distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic conditions is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the relative frequency of neoplastic versus non-neoplastic diseases in submandibular gland excisions.
  • To evaluate the behavior of malignancies arising in the submandibular gland.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 107 submandibular gland excision cases.
  • Analysis of histopathological findings to classify lesions.

Main Results:

  • Non-neoplastic pathology was more prevalent than neoplastic disease.

  • Benign tumors occurred in 6% of cases, while primary glandular and metastatic carcinomas accounted for 3%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Non-neoplastic conditions are the primary cause of submandibular gland masses.
    • Submandibular gland malignancies exhibit aggressive behavior, underscoring the need for timely diagnosis and treatment.
