Unlabelled: Sialolipoma is rare benign neoplasm arise from salivary glands (majors and minors) characterized by neoplastic adipose tissue with scattered non-neoplastic salivary gland acinus. To date 60 cases (including 5 cases reported in the present paper) have been reported in scientific literature. This article presents 5 new cases of sialolipoma affecting minor salivary glands (MiSG) and additionally reviews and analyzes the previously published cases to assess possible demographical differences between sialolipoma from minor and from major salivary glands.
Case Reports: 5 cases (3 females; 2 males; age means 63.8 years), of sialolipoma from MiSG, are reported. 2 of them were located in buccal mucosa, 1 in upper lip mucosa, 1 in floor of the mouth and 1 in retromolar area. All tumors were composed by neoplastic adipocytes cells interlaced with normal salivary gland acinus cover it by a fibrous tissue capsule. Analyzes of literature showed that MiSG sialolipoma is most frequent in females over 60 years old, therefore and in conclusion this article assess different demographical profile of sialolipoma in respect to their topography.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine the occurrence of salivary gland tumors at a tertiary hospital in the State of Mexico from 2008 to 2019, focusing on demographic characteristics.
- - Findings revealed a low prevalence rate of 0.049%, with benign tumors being predominant (86.7%), mostly affecting individuals aged 51-60; the common types identified were pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor.

Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the characteristics of salivary gland tumors (SGTs) in Sudanese patients over a ten-year period, focusing on their frequency and type, with a total of 150 cases reviewed.
- - Out of the cases, 70% were benign and mostly occurred in the parotid and submandibular glands, with pleomorphic adenoma being the most common benign tumor.
- - The findings indicated a greater incidence of SGTs in males and highlighted the importance of understanding these tumors for better diagnosis and treatment in Sudan.
