Tumours of the salivary glands
Keyword(s):
Malignant salivary gland tumours are rare and histologically diverse. The most common tumour site is the parotid gland and most tumours are benign. The aetiological factors are numerous. Presentation of a painless swelling of a salivary gland is always considered as suspicious. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are all useful imaging modalities. Fine-needle aspiration cytology and core biopsy are valuable diagnostic tools. Surgical excision represents the mainstay of treatment for resectable tumours. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy all have roles in management.
