==[[Salivary gland tumor overview|Overview]]==


'''Tumors of the salivary glands''' ('''salivary gland neoplasm''') may occur. These are usually benign, but may be malignant.
==[[Salivary gland tumor historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


The most common type of benign tumor is [[pleomorphic adenoma]], followed by [[Warthin's tumor]].
==[[Salivary gland tumor classification|Classification]]==


The most common malignant tumor is [[mucoepidermoid carcinoma]].

Image:Salivary gland enlargement 3.jpg|SALIVARY GLANDS: MIXED TUMOR OF PALATE. Most mixed tumors involve only one side of the palate because there are few minor glands in the midline. In this case the tumor appears symmetrical on either side of the midline. Large intraoral tumors are susceptible to trauma-related ulceration, as illustrated here. (Courtesy of F. J.Kratochvil, Bethesda, MD.)

Image:Salivary gland enlargement 5.jpg|SALIVARY GLANDS: MUCOEPIDERMOID CARCINOMA OF PALATE. These tumors frequently are slightly raised, fluctuant, bluish discolorations of the palatal mucosa that are clinically thought to represent mucous escapereactions.
Image:Salivary gland enlargement 6.jpg|SALIVARY GLANDS: ACINIC CELL ADENOCARCINOMA: CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 2.0-cm raised subcutaneous nodule just anterior to the lower portion of the ear is a common clinical presentation for acinic cell adenocarcinoma. The tumor is in the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland of this 24-year-old man.

Image:Salivary gland enlargement 8.jpg|SALIVARY GLANDS: ADENOID CYSTIC CARCINOMA. This sublingual gland tumor slowly enlarged to produce a large, lobulated mass in the anterior floor of the mouth. The oral mucosa is intact.
