Description
Summary:Objective To describe the frequency, clinical, and demographic features of minor salivary gland tumors and possible associated factors. Materials and methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted. Clinical and demographic data were collected from biopsy records of two oral pathology services. Chi‐square test, Fisher's exact test, and descriptive statistical analysis were performed. Results A total of 480 (0.89%) minor salivary gland tumors were retrieved, 272 (56.7%) benign and 147 (30.7%) malignant. Sixty‐one (12.6%) had no subtype specification. Most patients were women (307/64.0%), in sixth decade of life (80/16.7%), with a mean age of 45.32 years. Palate was the most common site (336/70.1%). Pleomorphic adenoma (PA; 245/51.1%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC; 70/14.6%), and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC; 43/8.9%) were the most frequent tumors. Symptomatic case, recurrence, and tobacco use were associated with malignancy (p
