A partir des archives du Département d'Anatomo-pathologie des Cliniques Universitaires de Kinshasa, une étude rétrospective sur les tumeurs des glandes salivaires au Congo ( Zaïre) a été menée en vue d'établir leur profil histologique et épidémiologique. Les tumeurs des glandes salivaires sont rares au Congo avec une fréquence relative de 1.8 %. L'adénome pléomorphe (55.1 %) et le carcinome adénoïde kystique (15.9 %) sont les tumeurs les plus fréquentes. Le plus grand nombre des tumeurs ont une localisation parotidienne (36.6 %). Les personnes entre 30 et 39 ans (19.9 %) (Moyenne : 37.4 ±16.2 ans) et le sexe féminin (M/F = 0.8/1) sont les plus atteints. Aucun cas de lymphadénome n'a été retrouvé dans cette série.
