Objectives: To analyze epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of patients with benign parotid gland tumours in five year experience at the Department of Otothinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery University Hospital of Split. Material and Methods: Out of 135 hospitalized parotid gland tumour patients from January 1st 2013. to December 31st 2017., we chose 120 patients based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. With the insight of the hospital documentation, we analysed four parameters: age, sex, lateralization, pathohistological diagnosis and operation type. Results: Mean age was 60 years. Distribution of age data is showing that most of the patients belong to older population. There is no difference between males and females. 75% patients with pleomorphic adenoma are women and 75% patients with Warthin's tumour are men. An increase in number of tumors is present in both sexes. There is no significant lateralization. In all, there were nine different histological types. The most common is Warthin's tumour (46.67%), followed by pleomorphic adenoma (38.33%), bazeocellular adenoma (4.2%), cystis (3.3%) and myoepithelioma (2.5%). The most commonly used technique is superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation although extirpation is frequent as well (64 and 55 out of 120 cases, respectively). Total parotidectomy was performed only once (0,83%). Conclusions: Patients with benign tumours are usually older people and there is no predominance between men and women. The most common histological type is Warthin's tumour. The most performed operation is superficial parotidectomy. There is an increase of incidence in the observed five-year period. We consider further studies are needed for a better understanding of benign parotid gland tumours in Croatia.Parotid Neoplasms
