Salivary gland neoplasm represents the most complex and diverse group of neoplasm of the head and neck.Their diagnosis and management are complicated by relative infrequency. Around 64%–80% are located in the parotid gland, 7%–11% in the submandibular glands, and the remainder being distributed between the sublingual (1%) and the minor salivary glands (9%–23%) throughout the oral cavity.The tumors also have variations in their clinicopathological profile related to racial and geographic differences. Salivary gland neoplasms account for 0.5–2% of all tumors worldwide, and can display a remarkable range of morphological diversity between different tumor types. Aim and objects: The aims of this study were: (1) To assess the frequency of salivary gland tumor based on tumor type and anatomic location. (2) To correlate gender and age in different tumor type. (3) To correlate the location of benign and malignant neoplasm in the head and neck area.
