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.

====Micro====
The sections show a stratified squamous epithelium with a thin layer of parakeratosis,
minor salivary glands, and a well-circumscribed cystic lesion.
 
The cystic lesion has a mildly fibrotic appearing wall, is lined by histiocytes intermixed with rare lymphocytes, and contains mucous and macrophages. No significant nuclear atypia is identified. Mitotic activity is not readily apparent.
