Tumors of the salivary glands (salivary gland neoplasm) may occur. These are usually benign, but may be malignant.
The most common type of benign tumor is pleomorphic adenoma, followed by Warthin's tumor.
The most common malignant tumor is mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Eighty percent begin in the parotid gland.[1]
