Summary1 The diagnosis and treatment of tumours of the salivary glands has been discussed, the conclusions being based on personal experience of 49 cases. 2 Adequate surgery is necessary to prevent recurrence of mixed salivary tumours. Radical surgery, usually without lymph node dissection, is necessary for carcinoma, but the outlook for cure is poor.
