Those lesions dividing into (inflammatory 24 case, benign tumor 35 case, and malignant tumors 7 cases), the most benign lesion was pleomorphic adenoma with 68.8% of all salivary gland tumors, while both mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcinoma rank first sharing same percentage (4.76 %) among all salivary gland tumors. Parotid gland was the most common site for salivary gland biopsies 63.6%, and the 3rd – 4th decade of life was the most affected age for both inflammatory and benign salivary gland lesions while the 5th – 6th decade of life was the common age group for malignant tumors.
