Parotid gland tumor of course, this is a variety of tumors that occur in the parotid gland. Then it is also divided into benign and malignant, but generally clinically we believe that 80% of salivary gland tumors occur in the parotid gland, and 80% of parotid gland tumors are benign. The most common benign tumor in the parotid gland is often called mixed tumor, which is also called pleomorphic adenoma. This is generally slightly more common in women, and the age of onset is 30 to 50 years old.
