[Pleomorphic adenoma in ectopic salivary tissue in a child]].
Benign tumors appearing in cervical ectopic salivary tissue are rare. Most of these tumors are pleomorphic adenomas and many occur in adults. We report two cases of pleomorphic adenoma developing in cervical ectopic salivary tissue in children and review the pathogenesis of salivary heterotopia and these benign tumors.
