Histopathological study of minor salivary gland Tumours: An observational study in the malwa belt of
southwest part of Punjab

Introduction: Minor salivary gland neoplasms represent less
than 25% of the intraoral salivary neoplasms and only 0.3-
1.5%of all thebiopsies received inoral pathology laboratories.
Aims & Objectives: Histopathological study of minor salivary
gland tumors: An observational study in themalwa belt of south
west part of punjab.Materials&methods: Aprospective clinico-
pathologicalstudyof15casesofbenignandmalignantneoplastic
tumors of intraoral minor salivary glands was conducted in
Department of Pathology at Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences
and Research, Bathinda over the period of 6 months. The
lesions from representative sections were studied and classified
according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
Results: Palate was the most common site constituting
46.6% followed by retromolar region contributing 26%.
Histopathologically amongst the 15 cases studied during
study period, 8 were benign and remaining 7 weremalignant.
The most common benign tumor found was Pleomorphic
adenoma (87.5%) followed by a single case of oncocytoma
(12.5%).Amongthe7malignanttumoursmostcommonlyseen
lesion was serous Polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma
(PLGA) contributing 42.8% of all the malignant minor
salivary gland lesions followed by adenoid cystic
carcinoma (28.5%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (14.2%).
Conclusion: Most of the benign tumors were observed
in the age group of 20-40yr, while most of the malignant
tumor cases were common in elderly (>40 years) age group.
The most commonly seen benign neoplastic lesion was
Pleomorphic adenoma whereas Polymorphous low grade
adenocarcinoma (PLGA) was the most common malignant
salivary gland neoplasm. Histopathology remains the gold
standard for the diagnosis along with all other advanced
ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry.
