Abstract
The accurate and precise classification of salivary gland tumors is imperative. The various types of salivary gland tumors are distinct in their clinical behavior and response to treatment, and the surgical pathology diagnosis weighs heavily on therapeutic decisions and patient prognosis. The surgical pathology of salivary gland tumors is indeed challenging, but it need not be overwhelming. This review emphasizes those morphologic patterns and cellular features that are most helpful in accurately classifying the primary epithelial neoplasms most commonly encountered in the major and minor salivary glands.Entities:
