Textbook and Color Atlas of Salivary Gland Pathology: Diagnosis and Management aims to offer comprehensive coverage of all aspects of this topic. Beginning with the embryology, anatomy and physiology of the salivary glands, the first half of the book goes on to discuss radiographic imaging, infections, cystic conditions, sialoadenitis and sialolithiasis, and systemic diseases. The second half of the book is devoted to the classification of salivary gland tumors and devotes individual chapters to the discussion of each type. The book closes with a discussion of the miscellaneous pathologic processes of the salivary gland, including a section on saliva as a diagnostic fluid.

The book is intended for a very diverse audience, including academic oral and maxillofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists / head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, as well as residents in these disciplines. Private practitioners will want to place this publication on the bookshelves of their offices so as to consult the text/atlas when evaluating a patient with salivary gland pathology.
