Ten cases which were suspected of tumor in the major salivary area were assesed comparing the results of pre-operative diagnostic examinations (present history, physical examination, sialography, Technetium-99 and Gallium-67 imagings, ultrasonography and computed tomography) with surgically and pathologically confirmed diagnosis.<BR>The aim of this study is to obtain information concerning differential diagnosis between salivary tumor and inflammatory lesion, and between benign and malignant salivary tumors.<BR>It seems that differential diagnosis between tumor and inflammatory lesion seems to be possible with pre-operative examinations, however discrimination between benign and malignant tumors is difficult.It is very important to make a provisional diagnosis of the lesion in major salivary gland area putting all kinds of information from individual examinations together.<BR>In the case of suspicious malignant tumor, we must establish a total cure system including an open biopsy and following therapies.
