Heterotopic salivary gland presenting as a supra-clavicular swelling.
A 5-month-old female was referred to the paediatric surgery clinic with a neck swelling in the right supra-clavicular region. This was thought clinically to be cystic hygroma. Pathology showed an ectopic salivary gland. This should be added to the list of differential diagnoses of neck swelling in childhood.
