Salivary gland tumours, also known as mucous gland adenomas[1] or neoplasms, are tumours that form in the tissues of salivary glands. The salivary glands are classified as major or minor. The major salivary glands consist of the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. The minor salivary glands consist of 800 to 1000 small mucus-secreting glands located throughout the lining of the oral cavity.[2] Patients with these types of tumours may be asymptomatic.[1]
