The '''salivary glands''' help digest food.  ENT surgeons take 'em out and want you to diagnose 'em. [[Cytopathology]] of the salivary glands is covered in the ''[[Head and neck cytopathology]]'' article.

The '''salivary glands''' help digest food.  ENT surgeons excise them if a malignancy is suspected.  
 
The [[cytopathology]] of the salivary glands is covered in the ''[[Head and neck cytopathology]]'' article.

===Microscopic===
Features:
*Like [[oncocytoma]]s elsewhere.
**Eosinophilic cytoplasm (on [[H&E stain]]).
***Due to increased number of mitochrondria.
**Fine capillaries.
*Architecture: solid sheets, trabeculae or duct-like structure.<ref name=pmid19796983/>
 
Notes:
*May have clear cell change.
*Multiple small incidental lesions = oncocytosis - ''not'' oncocytoma.
