Among 50 cases, 39(78%) were parotid neoplasm, 4 (8%) were submandibular neoplasm and 7 (14%) were minor salivary gland neoplasms. Among the parotid neoplasms, 13 (33.33%) were malignant neoplasms. Whereas in the submandibular neoplasm 2 (50%) were malignant neoplasms and for minor salivary glands tumour 4 (57.14%) were malignant neoplasms. Forty nine cases undergone some form of surgery.
