dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The salivary gland consist of three major pairedgland (parotid, submandibular and sublingual) and numerousminor salivary gland. Neoplasm of the salivary gland aredivided into benign and malignant. Benign neoplasm of thesalivary gland are more common. Both sexes are involvedwith a female preponderance. Parotid gland is the mostcommon gland involved. Current research aimed to study thedifferent types of salivary gland neoplasm regarding age, sexand clinicopathological distribution.Material and methods: Data for this study was obtainedfrom retrospective case notes of all patients with salivarygland tumour operated at the department of otolaryngologyand head and neck surgery, Assam medical college from June2012 to June 2015.Results: There were 60 patients included in the study. 25 weremales (41.66%) and 35 were females (58.33%). Most commonneoplasm was benign (88.33%). Most common benign andmalignant tumour were pleomorphic adenoma (76.66%) andacinic cell carcinoma (5%) respectively. Parotid was mostcommonly involved gland followed by submandibular gland.Conclusion: Parotid gland is the most common glandinvolved in salivary gland tumour. The most commonpresentation of salivary gland tumour is painless swellingaround the salivary gland. The mainstay of diagnosis ishistopathological examination. Pleomorphic adenoma andAcinic cell carcinoma were the most common benign andmalignant lesion respectively in this series.en_US
