REACTIVE, INFECTIOUS AND BENIGN LESIONS OF SALIVARY GLAND- A REVIEW

Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9

Abstract

Salivary gland tumors are relatively uncommon and account for approximately 3-6 percentage of all neoplasms of the head and neck. Tumors of salivary glands usually occur in the major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual), however, a small percentage occur in the minor salivary glands located within the oral mucosa, palate, uvula, floor of the mouth, tongue, pharynx, larynx and paranasal sinuses. The salivary glands are subject to a number of pathologic conditions. These include inflammatory infective diseases such as viral, bacterial, or allergic sialadenitis, a variety of benign tumors. In this review we summarize the various reactive, infectious and benign lesions of salivary gland for better understanding with the recent references and current literature.
