Abstract

Tumors of the salivary gland represent relatively rare neoplasms. Still, in spite of their scarcity, they demonstrate a wide spectrum of disease across both benign and malignant lesions. The purpose of this review is to provide a practical overview of the pathology of the more common salivary gland neoplasms, covering the morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular profiles with an emphasis on unique diagnostic challenges and prognostic indicators.
