Background. Malignant tumors of the salivary glands are often found in geriatric practice. As the fact some authors indicate that the cause of this is the state of the immune system and the accumulation of carcinogenic factors over the years. There are few studies in the literature reflecting the characteristics of salivary gland diseases in elderly patients. Objective. Identification of general profile of surgical diseases of salivary glands in the geriatric group of patients. Methods. 34 excisional biopsies of salivary glands of the patients aged 65 years and above were examined retrospectively. Diagnostic and clinical data of patients, as well as morphological features of excision biopsies were analyzed. Results. Geriatric patients groups constitute 8.39% of the total number of patients with diseases of salivary glands. 16 patients were males (47.06%), 18 females (52.94%). Our researche revealed 23 (67.65%) parotid, 7 (20.59%) submandibular and 4 (11.76%) small salivary glands; of which 15 (44.11%) were malignant tumors, 12 (35.3%) benign tumors and 7 (20.59%) non-tumoral processes. Poorly differentiated tumors detected in 9 (60%) of 15 cases of malignant neoplasms. Conclusion. Malignant tumors of the salivary glands are more common in geriatric patients group than in other age groups, and most of them have a poor differentiation. At the same time malignant tumors in geriatric patients presented in this study are characterized by their diversity. |
