Abstract :
<p> Introduction: Salivary gland masses include oad spectrum of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions with variable cytological and histopathological appearance. Methods: All mass lesions of salivary glands received in surgical histopathology section were analysed retrospectively over 10 years period. Results: Out of 122 resected mass lesions, majority were neoplastic (112 cases – 91.8%), benign neoplasms predominated (81 cases – 72.3%). Parotid gland was the commonest site (79.5%). For neoplastic lesions, FNAC showed sensitivity of 96.6% and specificity of 100%. Pleomorphic adenoma was the commonest tumour (67 cases- 59.8%) followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma (16.9%) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (8.9%) Conclusions: Considering the rarity and vast spectrum of salivary gland masses, correlation of clinical, cytological and histopathological features is essential.</p>
