The results are as follows: 1. There were 30cases (60.0%) of benign tumors and 20cases (40.0%) of malignant tumors. 2. Salivary gland tumors were equally found in males (25cases; 50.0%) and female (25cases; 50.0%). Benign tumors occurred in slightly more females (16cases; 53.3%) than males (14cases; 46.7%) and malignant tumors were seen in more males (12cases; 60.0%) than females (8cases; 40.0%). 3. The average age of the patients was 52.7 years (benign tumors; 44.8 years old, malignant tumors; 63.3 years old). 4. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common tumor. It accounted for 52.0% of all tumors and 86.7% of the benign tumors. Adenoid cystic carcinoma had the highest incidence among the malignant tumors (26.0% in all tumors, 65.0% in malignancy). 5. At the first medical examination, while most patients with benign tumor had only swelling without pain, the patients with malignant tumor had swelling with pain and/or ulcer. 6. The period from onset to first hospital visit for benign tumor cases was longer than for malignant tumor cases (5 years 4 months and 8months respectively). 7. Tumor size at first examination was 2-4cm in 27cases (57.4%). 8. Most tumors occurred in the palatal gland (19cases; 38.0%) followed by the submandibular gland (11cases; 22.0%) and finally the parotid gland (6cases; 12.0%). Palatal gland tumors were the most common benign and malignant tumors. 9. In terms of malignancy, more than half the tumors (12cases; 66.7%) were at stageI. 10. Surgical treatment was performed in 16 cases (80.0%) of malignant tumors., 論文}, pages = {19--26}, title = {[原著]唾液腺腫瘍50例の臨床病理学的検討}, volume = {24} }
