Anatomy of Salivary Glands
Three major salivary glands
• Parotid gland (Stensen’s duct)
• Submandibular gland (warthin’s duct)
• Sublingual gland (Bartholin’s duct)
• Innumerable minor salivary glands in mucosa and oral cavity

Tumors of the salivary gland may arise from -- the salivary epithelium (the parenchyma) --or the supportive stroma (mesenchymal)
Benign parenchymal tumors are known as Adenomas Malignant tumors are known as adenocarcinomas .
Salivary gland tumors may arise form any cellular component including the basal cells ductal, striated intercalated ducts, acini and the myoepithelial cells.

• High grade
• – poor prognosis (40% 5 year survival)
• Site: submandibular, floor of mouth, tongue

Salivary Adenocarcinoma NOS• Some tumours still defy the current classification of salivary gland
tumours• These are labelled as Salivary Adenocarcinoma Not Otherwise
Specified (NOS)

Treatment & Prognosis
• Early stage, well differentiated tumours appear to have a better
prognosis
• The survival rate is better for tumours of oral cavity as compared to
tumours of major salivary gland.
