Abstract: Salivary gland
neoplasm is one of the rare neoplasm. The frequency of this neoplasm is lower
than 2% of all type of tumors in human. Malignant salivary gland tumor
comprises 6% of all head and neck tumors. Data about salivary gland carcinoma
are still limited. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of
malignant salivary gland based on the patients’ age, gender, site of lesion and
histopathology type.
Methods: This study was conducted descriptively. There were 97 subjects
found from histopathological form that had been examined in Department of
Anatomical Pathology, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in 2009–2012. Total
sampling technique was used and all data about patients’ age, gender, site of
lesion and histopathology type were collected and analyzed.
Results: Of 97 cases, age group 50–59 years old had the highest frequency
(29%). The prevalence in male was more frequent than female with male:female
ratio was 1.4:1. The most common site of carcinoma was found in parotid gland
(45%). Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common histopathology type found
in this study (28%).
Conclusions: Salivary gland carcinoma is still a rare malignant case in
Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Carcinoma in parotid gland was the most
common site and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common histopathology
type.
