An Overview of Salivary Gland Neoplasms in a Tertiary Care Centre, India

The parotid and submandibular glands are of great concern because of their frequent ailment and early manifestation. Common symptoms include swelliness, pain, and nerve palsies in the area or over the gland. Studies using an ultrasonogram and a computer tomogram help determine the size of a tumour and aid in surgical planning. Even though salivary gland problems are widespread, neoplasms are only found in older age groups and become more prevalent with time. Salivary gland neoplasms have been treated surgically in patients at our tertiary care facility, which comprises general surgeons and otolaryngologists. We wish to examine the current neoplasm kinds and demographics found in our otorhinolaryngology department.
