Type: article

Abstract: Salivary gland neoplasms account for 3% -6% of all head and neck neoplasms,and the incidence was estimated to range from 0.4 to 13.5 cases per 100 000 inhabitants annually.Histologically,salivary gland tumors are a diverse group of neoplasms,making it difficult to establish a common standard for diagnosis and treatment.Most of the current studies concerning salivary gland tumors investigated the histological features and clinical manifestations including both major and minor salivary gland tumors,making it difficult to evaluate their real frequency and site distribution.Parotid tumor is the most frequently occurring salivary neoplasms,comprising 60% -80% of all salivary gland tumors.
