Abstract: | Summary Ectopic salivary glands in the neck are very unusual lesions. Generally they are localized to the oropharyngeal region, near the mandible and para-parotid lymph nodes. They occur occasionally on the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the soft tissues of the neck. We wish to report on a singular association of ectopic salivary glands with partial hearing loss, preauricular fistula, palatoschisis, anal fistula, and an arteria lusoria. Morphological, histological and embryological aspects are discussed. |
