title: Benign salivary gland disease.
abstract: The majority of benign clinical problems that present affect the major salivary glands--parotid and submandibular. However, there are numerous minor salivary glands located in the mucosa of the head and neck which have the same predilection to the same diseases that affect the major glands but to a lesser frequency.
