Abstract
Molecular diagnostics have become indispensable to the pathologist’s workup of salivary gland tumors and to the treating clinician. Molecular advances have led to the identification of previously unidentified entities and variants in salivary gland pathology and are increasingly used to help guide personalized therapy. In this chapter, the salient molecular signatures of salivary gland neoplasms will be presented as they relate to diagnosis and therapy.
