Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of salivary gland tumors in southwest China in order to provide data for clinical diagnosis and other similar research.
Methods: Between March 2007 and December 2017, 2736 patients with salivary gland tumors were recruited, the clinical and pathological data were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: A total of 2736 patients had a ratio of males to females of about 1.02:1. The ratio of benign to malignant tumors was 3.46:1. Pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma had 50.8% and 7.2%, respectively. About 65.4% tumors occurred in the parotid gland. There was no significant difference between the tumor in the left or right parotid and the use of cell phones. There were significant differences between gender and both the characteristics and locations of salivary gland tumors (p < .05). There were also significant differences between the pathological characteristics and location of the salivary gland (p < .05).
Conclusions: The salivary gland benign and malignant tumors were more common in pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma, most occurred in the parotid gland. The minor gland tumors are lower than other parts of China. The incidence of parotid gland tumors is not related to the use of cell phones.

目的：探讨中国西南地区涎腺肿瘤的流行病学和临床病理特征, 以便为临床诊断和其他类似研究提供资料。
方法：2007年3月至2017年12月, 共征集涎腺肿瘤患者2736例, 并回顾性分析了临床和病理资料。
结果：2736例患者的男女比例约为1.02：1, 良、恶性比例为3.46：1。多形性腺瘤和腺样囊性癌分别占50.8%和7.2%。约65.4%的肿瘤发生于腮腺。左侧或右侧腮腺肿瘤以及是否使用手机之间无显著差异。不同性别的涎腺肿瘤的特征及部位之间存在显著差异（p < 0.05）；涎腺的病理特征和部位也有显著差异（p < 0.05）。
结论：涎腺良性和恶性肿瘤多见于多形性腺瘤和腺样囊性癌, 多发生于腮腺。小腺肿瘤发病率低于中国其他地区。腮腺肿瘤的发病率与使用手机无关。
