Histogenetic and Morphogenetic Concepts of Salivary Gland Neoplasms

Salivary gland neoplasms have always been an field of interest for head neck and tumors because of its diversity in histogenesis and morphogenesis. Its of keen interest that all benign tumors arise from major salivary glands whereas on the other side all malignant arise from minor salivary glands. Reason for the above criteria can be understood only when a complete knowledge and understanding of the histogenesis of these tumors are known, so this paper emphasize on its histogenesis and morphogenesis of salivary gland tumors.
