Overview of a 15 year Experience with Benign and Malignant Tumors of Submandibular Gland

We reviewed our 15 years experience with tumors of the submandibular gland to determine factors influences the outcome. The most common benign neoplasm was polymorphic adenoma (11cases), while among malignant tumors the adenoid cystic carcinoma was predominated (12cases). among patients who had malignant tumors, the 5 year survivals were 61.9% in patients with malignant tumors, histology and size did not affect overall survival factors. the outcome was affected by extra glandular soft-tissue extension and lymph node metastasis.
