Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The annual incidence of Pleomorphic adenoma is approximately 2-3.5 cases per 100,000 population.[1]
- It accounts for 45-75% of all salivary gland neoplasms.
- Pleomorphic adenoma distribution among the salivary glands is as follows[2]:
- Parotid gland: 84%
- Submandibular gland: 8%
- Minor salivary glands: 6.5%
Age
- People of all age groups may develop Pleomorphic adenoma.[1]
- The incidence of Pleomorphic adenoma increases with age; the average age at diagnosis is 43-46 years.
Race
There is no racial predilection to Pleomorphic adenoma.
Gender
- Females are predominantly affected by Pleomorphic adenoma than males. The female to male ratio is approximately (2:1)
Causes
- The exact causes of Pleomorphic adenoma are unknown but the tumor has been found to increase 15-20 years after radiation exposure.
- Simian virus(SV40) may play a role in the development of Pleomorphic adenoma.[3]
Risk factors
Prior head and neck irradiation is a risk factor for the development of Pleomorphic adenoma.[4]
Classification
- pleomorphic adenoma can be classified on the basis of the epithelial and stromal changes into the following subgroups.[5]
- Subgroup 1 (30,5%) is the classical pleomorphic adenoma with a stroma content of 30-50%
- subgroup 2 (55%) has a stroma content of 80%
- subgroup 3 (9%) has a poor stroma content of 20-30% or less and an epithelial differentiation similar to subgroup 1
- subgroup 4 has also a poor stroma content (6%) with a relatively monomorphic epithelial structure.
