A case of salivary heterotopic tissue associated with branchial cyst
Keywords:
Heterotopic salivary tissue, branchial cystAbstract
In adult people cervical masses account for inflammatory adenopathies, congenitalmalformations or in a lesser degree to neoplasms. Heterotopic salivary tissue is the
presence of salivary tissue in an abnormal place. When it has a cervical location
may to be associated with branchial anomalies apparently by its relation (both)
during the embryogeny. Due to the non-frequent of this association and the no
publication of any case in national literature, we decide a case presentation of the
case of a young patient with a cervical mass presumptively diagnosed with
branchial cyst and in surgical intervention we noted a glandular development
associated with the cystic lesion with histopathology confirmation of cervical
heterotopic salivary tissue linked to branchial cyst. We showed also the potential
theories of this association according the authors reviewed in world literature and
we confirmed the significance of to take into account this diagnosis in case of a
cervical tumor to plan the appropriate surgical treatment.
