Abstract

Heterotopic salivary gland tissue is the presence of salivary tissue outside of the salivary glands. It is an uncommon condition but it can be the source of the full spectrum of salivary gland diseases. We present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma developing from heterotopic salivary gland tissue in an upper neck lymph node not related to the major salivary glands. This article reviews the difficulty of the differential diagnosis with other cervical masses, embryogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment of this condition.

La presencia de tejido salival fuera de las glándulas salivales se denomina heterotopía salival. Es poco frecuente, pero puede ser asiento de todo el espectro de patologías de las glándulas salivales. Se presenta un caso poco común de un adenoma pleomorfo en la región superior del cuello, desarrollado sobre una inclusión de tejido salival en un linfonodo, de manera independiente a las glándulas salivales. Se revisa la dificultad del diagnóstico diferencial dentro de las masas cervicales, su embriogénesis, manifestación clínica y tratamiento.
