[Cystic hamartoma of the mandibular angle. Apropos of a case].
A large cyst of mandibular angle was surgically removed in a 20 years-old woman. This cyst was discovered during childhood and was associated with a branchial para-mandibular cyst. It was histologically lined either with a malpighian epithelium with sebaceous islands or with a ciliated cylindrical epithelium. Because of its topography, its association with a branchial cyst and its histological feature quite similar to that of a cyst of thyroglossal duct, this cyst was thought to represent a simplified salivary ectopy composed only of a cystic secretory duct without any salivary parenchyma.
