Abstract
Salivary gland tumours are a common clinical dilemma and imaging plays a useful role in establishing diagnosis, differentiating benign from
malignant tumors, evaluating extent of local and distant involvement and thus providing a rm aid to the clinician for the management of these
tumors. Ultrasonography is the rst line imaging modality for localization and characterization of lesions in the major salivary glands. CT /MRI
help to identify spread of tumor in inaccessible areas like para-pharyngeal spaces , dene the tumor's size and extent better and give more detailed
information about the involvement of surrounding structures.
