Abstract
Sialoblastomas are rare, locally aggressive, perinatal or congenital salivary gland tumours that mostly originate in the parotid gland. Significant variability in histological range and clinical course exists. This report is of a case of congenital sialoblastoma of the accessory parotid gland.
Highlights
Sialoblastomas are rare salivary gland neoplasms that present congenitally or during early infancy, with significant variability in histological range and clinical course.[1]
In 1988, the term sialoblastoma was coined by Taylor to describe these lesions because it conveyed the dysontogenetic character and the site of the tumour.[3]
This report presents a case of congenital sialoblastoma of the accessory parotid gland
Summary
Sialoblastomas are rare, locally aggressive, perinatal or congenital salivary gland tumours that mostly originate in the parotid gland. Significant variability in histological range and clinical course exists. This report is of a case of congenital sialoblastoma of the accessory parotid gland. Sialoblastomas are rare salivary gland neoplasms that present congenitally or during early infancy, with significant variability in histological range and clinical course.[1] In 1966, 2 cases were reported and referred to as embryomas.[2] In 1988, the term sialoblastoma was coined by Taylor to describe these lesions because it conveyed the dysontogenetic character and the site of the tumour.[3] These tumours generally originate in the parotid gland but may arise in the submandibular or minor salivary gland. This report presents a case of congenital sialoblastoma of the accessory parotid gland
