Abstract
Comprehensive gross examination of a salivary gland neoplasm is often requisite to its accurate classification. Although benign and malignant neoplasms routinely mimic one another grossly, visual inspection directs appropriate tissue sampling for microscopic examination. Some of the commonly encountered gross appearances include the following (Figs. 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22, 4.23, 4.24, 4.25, 4.26, 4.27, 4.28, 4.29, 4.30, 4.31, 4.32, 4.33, 4.34, 4.35 and 4.36):
