Abstract

Salivary gland neoplasms are usually slow growing and non-tender. A slow-growing swelling of the salivary gland is suggestive of a neoplasm, whereas a sudden, painful swelling is suggestive of an infective pathology although it can sometimes indicate a malignant tumor with secondary infection. Salivary gland pathologies may be neoplastic, non-neoplastic, inflammatory, or non-inflammatory. Early surgical intervention after a good clinical, radiological, and histopathological diagnosis is need of an hour to minimize the postoperative complications.
