Salivary gland tumors typically present as slow-growing masses between the ages of 50 and 70. In the diagnostic process, alongside physical examination and radiological imaging methods, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a critical step. FNAB allows for differentiation between benign and malignant tumors, and the treatment plan is shaped by this information.

A significant portion of benign salivary gland tumors consists of the type known as 'mixed tumor' or 'pleomorphic adenoma', which is more frequently observed in women, particularly between 30 and 60 years of age. Generally, surgical treatment is preferred for all benign salivary gland tumors. During this operation, the entire salivary gland where the tumor is located is removed. In benign parotid gland tumors, if there is no involvement of the deep lobe, surgery is usually limited to the removal of only the superficial lobe.
