Background: Salivary gland tumors account for between less than 1% of all neoplasms of the head and neck.

Objective: to find out clinico-pathological study of salivary gland tumours.

Methods: All patients with salivary gland tumoursin surgical wards of KIMS Hospital during theperiod of July 2013 to November 2015. Total 20
cases clinically presenting as salivary gland tumours during the period of July 2013 to November 2015 were taken for study.

Results: The age incidence of the patients in thestudy group ranged from 16–60 years. 7(35%) patientswere males and 13(65%) were females. Parotid glandis the most commonest site accounting for 90% of all cases. All patients presented with swelling. Features of rapid growth, pain, and associated facial paralysis were considered as signs of malignancy. Overall pleomorphic adenoma, constitute 80% of all salivary
gland tumours. Among malignant tumours sqamous cell carcinoma constitute 5% and myoepithelial tumour constitutes 5% of all tumours occuring in salivary glands.

Conclusions: It was concluded Most of the salivary gland tumours occur in females. Most of the salivary gland tumours arise in parotid gland. Most of them are benign and most of the benign tumours are
pleomorphic adenoma. Swelling is the commonest symptom of salivary gland tumours.
