Abstract
A clinicopathological survey of human salivary gland tumors seen in a special surgical clinic at the Christie Hospital and Holt Radium Institute [UK] is reported. Benign and malignant tumors [977] have been seen within the past 30 yr. The results of treatment are included with particular attention to the parotid glands which present the greatest therapeutic problem. The approach to surgical treatment of pleomorphic adenomas is described in detail and guidelines offered as to the procedure that should be used based on full exploration and assessment of each tumor. The need for adjuvant irradiation depends on the standard or surgery that is done. The relationship between carcinomas and benign adenomas is discussed, and the need for surgery in all cases is stressed in order to make a definite histological diagnosis in view of the wide range of pathological abnormality encountered.
