Carcinomas of the major salivary glands (M-SGC) comprise a morphologically diverse group of rare tumors of largely unknown cause. To gain insight into etiology, we evaluated incidence of M-SGC utilizing the World Health Organization classification schema (WHO-2005). We calculated age-adjusted incidence rates (IRs) and IR ratios (IRRs) for M-SGC diagnosed between 1992–2006 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program. Overall, 6,391 M-SGCs (IR=11.95/1,000,000 person-years) were diagnosed during 1992–2006. Nearly 85% of cases (n=5,370; IR=10.00) were encompassed within WHO-2005 and among these, males had higher IRs than females (IRR=1.51, 95%CI=1.43–1.60). Squamous cell (IR=3.44) and mucoepidermoid (IR=3.23) carcinomas occurred most frequently among males, whereas, mucoepidermoid (IR=2.67), acinic cell (IR=1.57), and adenoid cystic (IR=1.40) carcinomas were most common among females. Mucoepidermoid, acinic cell, and adenoid cystic carcinomas predominated in females through approximately age 50 years; thereafter IRs of acinic cell and adenoid cystic carcinomas were nearly equal among females and males, whereas IRs of mucoepidermoid carcinoma among males exceeded IRs among females (IRR=1.57; 95%CI=1.38–1.78). Except for mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcinomas which occurred equally among all races, other subtypes had significantly lower incidence among Blacks and Asian/Pacific Islanders than among Whites. Adenoid cystic carcinoma occurred equally in the submandibular and parotid glands, and other M-SGCs evaluated had 77–98% lower IRs in the submandibular gland. Overall M-SGC IRs remained stable during 1992–2006. Distinct incidence patterns according to histologic subtype suggest that M-SGCs are a diverse group of neoplasms characterized by etiologic and/or biologic heterogeneity with varying susceptibility by gender and race.
