Salivary Duct Cyst of Parotid Gland– A Case Report
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Swellings of the major salivary gland commonly lead to the differential diagnosis which includes benign and malignant tumors that are frequently associated with cystic degeneration or entirely cystic de novo. Only 6-9% of major salivary gland swellings are cystic lesions and 2-5 % are non-neoplastic in nature. This is a case report of such an asymptomatic unilateral parotid gland lesion in a 30-year-old female patient. The authors discuss the significance of clinical, radiographic, macro and microscopic correlations of cystic mass in major salivary glands. Keywords:salivary duct cyst, salivary retention cyst, parotid duct cyst.
