The findings of a retrospective study of 98 minor salivary neoplasms are reported. The patients' ages ranged from 13–79 years and there was an equal sex distribution. Sixty‐one of the lesions were benign, 53 being pleomorphic adenomas and 8 monomorphic adenomas. Of the malignant tumors, 19 were mucoepidermoid tumors, 12 adenoid cystic carcinomas, 4 adenocarcinomas, 1 carcinoma ex‐pleomorphic adenoma and 1 epidermoid carcinoma. One striking finding was the difference in age at the time of presentation for patients with muco‐epidermoid tumors compared with those with adenoid cystic carcinomas. Seventy‐four percent of the patients with muco‐epidermoid tumors were under 50 years of age, but 75% of those with adenoid cystic carcinomas were over 50 years.
