24 Neoplastic - Salivary Flashcards
What percent of parotid tumors are benign
75-80%
What is mc site of salivary gland neoplasm
Parotid 73%
Least common site of salivary neoplasm
Submandibular 11%
What is m/c site of malig gland neoplasm
Minor salivary glands 60%; 40% occur on palate
What is least common site of malig salivary gland neoplasm
Parotid 32%
Which salivary gland has best prog for malig tumor
parotid
which salivary gland has worst prog for malig tumor
SMG
M/c tumor of parotid
Pleomorphic adenoma in adult, hemangioma in kid (other sources say BMT in both)
How does metastasizing BMT differ from carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma
Histologically benign, lacking malig epithelial components
M/c malig tumor of parotid in adults
Mucoep CA
Most imp prog factor for malign salivary gland neoplasms
stage
Which 5 salivary gland tumors have worst prog
