Abstract One hundred twenty-three cases of salivary gland tumors treated at Grace-New Haven Community Hospital from 1922 to 1952 have been reviewed, and the findings are as follows. 1. 1. The parotid gland was the most frequent tumor site. 2. 2. Malignant and recurrent tumors were found most often in the parotid gland. 3. 3. All biopsied tumors recurred, with three exceptions. 4. 4. The tumor-free survival period of surgically treated recurrent tumors was low. 5. 5. Treatment was generally by surgery. X-ray therapy sometimes was used after surgery, but it was seldom used alone. 6. 6. A small group of patients with histologic benign tumors presented a problem from the point of therapy because of repeated recurrence. 7. 7. Standardization of histologic criteria would simplify and contribute much in comparative studies of these tumors.
