Aurora kinase A (AurkA) plays a vital role in mitosis and is therefore critical tumors development progression. There are few studies on AurkA expression salivary gland tumors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate pattern most common benign malignant by immunohistochemistry. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 68 cases including 25 pleomorphic adenomas (PAs), 21 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ADCa), 15 mucoepidermoid (MEC), 7 normal glands (NSG) were enrolled from archive Department Pathology Shiraz School Dentistry, Iran. tissue samples assessed immunohistochemical method analyzed using statistical analysis (p < 0.05). Of total analyzed, majority found involve minor compared major 0.001). addition, all lesions studied expressed AurkA. More than half tumor tissues showed staining percentages between 26 50% 76-100% NSG = 0.08). 44.1% cases, cells had weak score, 27.9% moderate score rest (27.9%) strong 0.64). Although observed be tissues, further needed clearly understand possibility it as diagnostic, prognostic therapeutic factor.
