2021
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of salivary gland lesions diag-nosed in an Oral Medicine center in Brazil from 2010 to 2019. Material and Methods: The files describing all cases classified as salivary glands lesions at the Stomatology of the Polyclinic Pi-quet Carneiro of the State University of Rio de Janeiro from 2010 to 2019 (a 10-year period) were reviewed for the purposes of this study. Data were tabulated and analyzed descriptively and comparatively using Pearson's Chi-Square Test and Fisher's Exact Test using the Graph Pad Prism program (Version 6.07 by Windows, San Diego, California, USA), with a significance lev-el of 5% (p<0.05). Results: The analysis of 2,134 medical records - 166 (7.78%) presented with salivary glands lesions in which 117 were women (70.48%) and 49 men (29.52%); the mean age of patients was 39.30; the most common clinical lesion of the salivary glands observed was mu-cocele representing 59 cases (35.54%), followed by sialadenitis with 33 cases (19.88%). Conclu-sions: According to all data gathered in this work, we concluded that the salivary gland lesions show a low prevalence and affect more white female patients in the sixth decade of life.
