This article discusses the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, which often are referred to as the major salivary glands. Overall, diseases of the salivary glands are relatively uncommon; however, as an organ system, they have the greatest diversity of pathology. Acute viral and bacterial inflammatory diseases are the most common salivary gland abnormalities; tumors are uncommon. The imaging approach to these lesions is discussed.
本文讨论腮腺、下颌下腺和舌下腺的解剖、生理及病理，这些腺体常被称为主要唾液腺。总体而言，唾液腺疾病相对不常见；然而，作为一个器官系统，它们的病理学表现具有最大的多样性。急性病毒和细菌感染性炎症疾病是最常见的唾液腺异常；肿瘤则不常见。本文还讨论了针对这些病变的影像学检查方法。
