The second edition of the World Health Organization's Histological Classification of Salivary Gland Tumors is more extensive and detailed than the previous edition published 20 years ago. The new edition is based on data regarding newly described tumor entities and the behavior and prognosis of the previously classified tumors. The distinct morphologic features of monomorphic adenomas justify their separation for purposes of identification. Among the carcinomas, various types were distinguished for purposes of recognition, prognosis, and treatment. The term tumor was replaced by carcinoma in the following two entities: acinic cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The tumor-like lesions were described in more detail.
世界卫生组织《唾液腺肿瘤组织学分类》第二版比20年前出版的上一版内容更丰富、更详细。新版本基于有关新描述的肿瘤实体以及先前分类肿瘤的行为和预后的数据。单形性腺瘤独特的形态学特征使其有理由为便于识别而单独列出。在癌中，为了便于识别、判断预后和进行治疗，区分出了各种类型。在以下两种实体中，“肿瘤”一词被“癌”所取代：腺泡细胞癌和黏液表皮样癌。对肿瘤样病变进行了更详细的描述。
