Ectopic Salivary Gland Tissue of The Neck
Abstract
- An 8-year-old girl had a rice sized erythematous nodule secreting mucoid fluid situated above the right sternoclavicular joint area since birth. Histopathological findings of the lesion revealed predominant mucous acini, serous acini, demilunes of mixed acini and excretory ducts in the deep dermis compatible with salivary gland. Electron microscopic findings revealed a lumen and serous cells containing serous granules and rough endoplasmic reticulurn. Recurrence has not been noted following total excision of the nodule.
