Abstract

The pattern of salivary gland tumours in Sudan over a period of 18 years has been reviewed. The findings were compared with those in other series. Parotid gland tumours (67.6%) were the commonest type and the majority were pleomorphic adenoma. No adenolymphoma was seen and the frequency of salivary gland tumours in children was 5.2%
