ABSTRACT
A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted on 166 patients of clinically evident salivary gland tumours over a period of l0years with the main aim to assess the prognosis of the various surgical techniques used in the management of salivary gland tumours. All the patients underwent detailed clinical examination and FNAC. CECT and MR scan were done whenever indicated. After meticulous assessment of the extent and establishment of the cytopathological diagnosis, these cases underwent surgical excision of the tumour. Various surgical approaches were described for the excision of the tumours of various size, type and extension, with or without nodal metastasis. Neck dissection was done in 54% cases of salivary gland malignancies. Excisional biopsy was done in all of the cases. Post-operative radiotherapy was given in 26% cases. 6% cases of malignant salivary gland tumours showed recurrence
