The article presents data on ultrasonography results in 59 patients with tumors in the salivary glands. Histologically salivary gland carcinoma was diagnosed in 11 (18.6±5.1%) patients, adenoma in 31 (52.6±6.5%) patients, and Vartin's tumor in 17 (28.8±5.9%) patients. In 5 (8.5±3.6%) cases the carcinoma was mucoepidermoid, in 4 (6.8±3.3%) cases it was acinoma, in 2 (3.4±2.4%) cases it was myoepithelial. Benign tumors were diagnosed in 48 (81.4%) cases: pleomorphic adenoma - in 31 (52.6±6.5%) cases, Vartin's tumor - in 17 (28.8±5.9%) cases. Benign tumors were diagnosed significantly high (P<0.001) more often than carcinoma, and pleomorphic adenoma more often than Warthin's tumor (P<0.01). The most significant ultrasonographic signs of salivary gland adenoma were clear, even contours, homogeneous structure, and weak tumor vascularization.
