title: Intraductal papilloma as a cause of a parotid duct cyst. A case report.
abstract: A case is presented of a rare intraductal papilloma being found simultaneously with a parotid duct cyst, which is a relatively common parotid disorder. The papilloma most probably played a significant role in the obstruction of the duct and thus caused the ductal cyst. Intraductal papillomas have been mostly described in minor salivary glands, but are rare in the parotid gland.
