Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign neoplasm, primarily occurring in the parotid gland.
Malignant neoplasms were most frequently mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcinoma, often found in the submandibular gland.
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed 100% sensitivity for benign tumors but only 41.7% specificity for malignancy.
Surgery was the main treatment, with superficial parotidectomy being the most common procedure performed.
