| dc.description.abstract | Four hundred and seventeen tumours of salivary glands in Kenya were analysed. There is no
evidence of higher incidence of salivary tumours than in non-African countries. The pattern
of distribution 'differed from that of western countries, but in conformity with most African
series showed a low proportion of tumours of the parotid gland and high proportion of
tumours in the submandibular gland and the palate. The involvement of the palate by
salivary gland tumour isvery prominent in the African series and particularly more so in the
females. Malignant tumours of the palate and parotid glands were frequent but were lower
than those reported in other African series. On the other hand malignant salivary gland
tumours of the submandibular glands while lower than those of the western countries, were
higher than those of other African series. | en |
