title: Management of sialoblastoma with surgery and brachytherapy.
abstract: Sialoblastoma is a rare congenital or perinatal salivary gland tumor with significant variability in histological appearance and biological behavior. We reported one case of sialoblastoma occurring in the parotid gland of an 18-month-old female. The tumor was excised with negative margins, and the sacrificed facial nerve was reconstructed with great auricular nerve graft. The tumor recurred 6 months after operation and was treated with (125)I seed implant brachytherapy. No recurrence was found after 21 months of follow-up.
