[Intraoral minor salivary gland tumors. Report of 296 cases (author's transl)]
Abstract
296 intraoral minor salivary gland tumors were observed among 702 salivary tumors. The study emphasizes a frequent palatine location, observed in more than 50 per cent of theses tumors. Pleiomorphic adenomas (or so called mixed tumors), are frequently encountered; but it is noteworthy that the proportion of muco-epidermoid tumors or adenoid cystic carcinoma is higher among theses tumors than among major salivary glands; this fact explain a poor overall prognosis of minor salivary gland tumors.
