South Africa has a very high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. Salivary gland lesions are common in HIV‐infected patients. The aim of this study was to determine the pathologic entities diagnosed on fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) of salivary gland masses in an HIV‐infected study population that now has free access to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy and how this differs from the pathologic entities before the advent of widespread ARV availability, and if the Milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology (MSRSGC) can be applied to HIV‐infected patients.
