title: [Observations of diagnosis and treatment of the salivary gland tumors].
abstract: Morphological and imaging methods of diagnosis and therapy of salivary gland tumors were presented. They have changed in period of thirty years. The accuracy of pretreatment diagnostic methods increased from 40 to 90%. Wrong diagnoses repeated in cases: adenoid cystic carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and metastases from other organs. Their frequency in our material was 21.2%. Changes in treatment of pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma were described. Percentage of 5-years survival was 64% in irradiated after tumor excision all treated. The patient's active participation in functional rehabilitation after facial nerve reconstruction was accentuated.
