Abstract

Salivary gland tumors represent a diagnostic challenge for pathologists due to their rarity, their very wide histopathological and immuno-phenotypic spectrum, and the recent identification of new entities. This article presents the main molecular characteristics of these tumors in order to allow any pathologist to perceive the diagnostic tracks of these ENT tumors and to better guide the molecular approach to establish the diagnosis and guide therapy.
