Background: The major salivary glands include the parotid glands. Parotid gland tumours account for 80% of all salivary gland neoplasms, of these, approximately 75- 80% are benign. Materials and methods: In present retrospective study, data were evaluated referring to 42 patients who underwent parotidectomy surgery for a period of 1 year at our Institution. Results: The peak incidence occurred in the 40 – 50 years age group. Benign tumors constituted 64.3% and malignant tumours 35.7%. The commonest benign tumor was pleomorphic adenoma and the commonest malignant tumor was mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Pain less slow growth is common feature. Surgery is the treatment of choice in all tumors of the parotid gland. Temporary facial paralysis was seen in 40.47% of patients in our study.
