TL;DRAbstract

Neoplasms of salivary glands are responsible for ca. 3–5% of head and neck tumors, and they usually occur in the parotid gland (80%) as benign tumors (80%). Localization in submandibular salivary glands is reported in 10–20% of cases, and tumors sited in sublingual and minor salivary glands are very rare (several percent) [1]. Among benign neoplasms the following types have been identified: pleomorphic adenoma (80%), adenolymphoma (12%) and others (2%) [2].
