Pleomorphic adenoma
Most common benign salivary gland tumor
Usually in parotid gland
Pleomorphic: variable appearance architecturally
Parenchymatous glands with myoepithelium
Stroma with epithelial tissue
Diagnose with fine needle aspiration (best: 90% sensitivity), US, CT, or MRI
Treat with surgical resection (parotidectomy), but it's a recurrent issue; can become carcinoma

Warthin’s tumor
AKA papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum
Second most common benign salivary gland tumor
Usually in parotid
Histo: germinal centers, cystic spaces, many lymphocytes, condensed chromatin (pyknotic) nuclei
Associated with smoking, older people
Tumor is slow growing, often painless

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Most common malignant salivary gland tumor
Usually starts in parotid, can also be found outside of salivary gland
Histo: contains mucinous cells and squamous cells
Tumor is slow growing, often painless
Associated with CMV

Adenoid cystic
carcinoma
Second most common malignant salivary gland tumor
Common tumor of the submandibular gland
Can also involve other tissues
Slow growing
Can have distant metastases: eye, lung, brain, sinuses, trachea, breast
Treatment is surgical resection, radiation
