Pleomorphic adenoma arising in accessory salivary tissue with constriction of Stensen's duct.

Abstract: Accessory salivary gland tissue is well recognized and is found in 21 per cent of the population. Tumours of the accessory salivary tissue are rare and comprise only 1 per cent of all parotid gland tumours.A pleomorphic adenoma of Stensen's duct is described. A circular constriction of this duct by the tumour with retention of saliva in the parotid gland was observed.

“…13 It is very rare in minor salivary glands of pediatric patients in general, especially in the buccal minor salivary glands as there are only five cases are reported up to date, 3 of them are older than our patient. [4][5][6][7][8] It usually present as a mobile slowly growing, painless, firm swelling that does not cause ulceration of the overlying mucosa. 8 The differential diagnosis of juvenile Pleomorphic adenoma includes abscess, foreign body reaction to substances like fish bone, fibroma, dermoid cyst, lipoma, rhabdomayosarcoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma.…”

“…However, accessory salivary glands differ from the heterotopic tissues because they are seen along a major salivary duct [24]. Histologic features of the accessory and main salivary glands do not demonstrate any differences, and all disorders of the major salivary glands may occur in the accessory glands [24,28,29]. The parotid gland is the most commonly encountered location for the accessory glands with tributary ducts [30,31].…”

“…Ultrasonography, CT, MRI, and sialography are useful for detecting the size, shape, and location of these central cheek tumors. Kronenberg et al [3] recommended the use of CT to establish anatomic relationships. Today, the best imaging technique currently available for defining soft tissue lesions is MRI with gadolinium contrast.…”
