Pleomorphic adenoma of cervical heterotopic salivary glands.
Neoplastic transformation of heterotopic cervical salivary gland tissue is extremely rare. The Authors describe a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising in this tissue, on the right side of the neck in a 40-year old man. The characteristics of salivary heterotipias of the neck, and their diagnostic difficulties and histogenetic problems are reviewed.
