Puntos clave

Non-neoplastic lesions were prevalent, comprising 89% of cases, dominated by mucoceles as the most common pathology.
Among neoplasms, 59% were benign, with pleomorphic adenoma as the leading type, indicating a significant trend in oral lesions.
The study identified 41% of cases as malignant, primarily featuring mucoepidermoid carcinoma, highlighting potential health concerns.
The findings align with existing literature, though the proportion of malignant cases was higher than previously reported.

Resumen

703 oral salivary gland pathology cases from 2014 to 2023 out of 6,143 biopsies (11.4%) were analysed. Non-neoplastic lesions accounted for 89%, with mucocele being most common (84.2%). Among neoplasms, 59% were benign-primarily pleomorphic adenoma-and 41% were malignant, with mucoepidermoid carcinoma most frequent. The distribution patterns aligned with known literature, though malignant cases were comparatively higher.
