Those lesions dividing into (inflammatory 24 case, benign tumor 35 case, and malignant tumors 7 cases), the most benign lesion was pleomorphic adenoma with 68.8% of all salivary gland tumors, while both mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcinoma rank first sharing same percentage (4.76 %) among all salivary gland tumors. Parotid gland was the most common site for salivary gland biopsies 63.6%, and the 3rd – 4th decade of life was the most affected age for both inflammatory and benign salivary gland lesions while the 5th – 6th decade of life was the common age group for malignant tumors. All those figures were comparable to other Iraqi studies done for same field, and also to the most published reports from other countries. | ||
