title: Major salivary gland tumours.
abstract: Forty-one major salivary gland tumours and tumour-like glandular enlargements are reviewed. In nine patients the swellings could not be differentiated from a true neoplasm. The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these patients are discussed. The clinical features, diagnostic and surgical management of 31 salivary neoplasms involving the parotid and submandibular glands are correlated with their histological features.
