Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical features of senile salivary gland neoplasms. Methods A total of 104 cases of senile (beyond 60 years old) salivary gland tumors treated in the past 15 years were analysed. Results Among the 104 cases of senile salivary gland tumors, benigns(85.6%) was more than malignants; males(76.0%) was more than females, the ratio of M∶F was about 1.5∶1. Seventy-two cases(69.2%) were from the parotid gland, 19 (18.3%) from the submandibular gland, 6 (5.8%) from the sublingual gland, 7 cases(6.7%) from the minor salivary gland. Warthin tumor (34 cases) accounted for 32.7%(34/104) of all senile salivary gland tumors, and 47.2%(34/72) of senile parotid gland tumors, 54.8%(34/62) of benign parotid gland tumors. Conclusions The senile salivary gland tumor were mainly benign tumor; Warthim tumor is the most commonly seen and the parotid gland is the most frequently targeted organ. The incidence in males is higher than in females, patients at 60-70 years old (76.0%) are the main victims. Regional excision of parotid gland (resection of tumor together with its surrounding glands) was efficient for surgical treatment in the elderly.
