“…15,16 Only one case has been reported as an endotracheal hypertrophic seromucous minor salivary gland in the lower respiratory tract. 17 This is an endotracheal polypoid lesion at the main carina, and microscopic findings revealed hyperplastic serous and mucous glands. If a similar condition occurred in the bronchus and PH entrapped hyperplastic bronchial glands, the interesting histological findings of this case would be expected; however, such a condition in a more distant airway than trachea has not been reported.…”

Pulmonary hamartoma (PH) is the most common benign lung tumor, comprising various amounts of mescenchymal components with entrapped epithelial components. We describe an unusual case of PH in the left lower lung lobe of a 60-year-old female. The tumor was 9 × 9 mm in size, light brown, weakly glistening, and microscopically found to be composed of well-developed epithelial and mesenchymal components without atypia. Both components were intermingled but without apparent transition. Epithelial components were occupied by predominant bronchial mucous glands. Serous glands, entrapped bronchioles, and clefts lined by respiratory epithelium were also apparent. Mesenchymal components including cartilage and fat were scattered, and swirling smooth muscle fascicles were interlaced with epithelial components. Collision tumor or other biphasic tumors were unlikely, and hyperplastic change in bronchial glands as in the rare conditions of intraoral minor salivary glands and epithelial entrapments by PH may explain these interesting histological findings. It is important to be aware of the possibility that a large number of bronchial mucous glands may be noted in the peripheral lung, and not to mistake this for other malignancies.

“…SGCh has been documented in several areas of the organism, being the posterior lobe of pituitary gland, the parathyroid gland, the middle ear, the lymph nodes and the lower neck the most common locations. With less common fre-quency, there are case reports of the upper neck, the lingual mandible, the thyroid gland, the mediastinum, the optic nerve, the bronchus, the prostate gland and the rectum were published ( 3 , 6 - 10 ). This case report is exceptional, it isn’t any SGCh in the buc-cinator muscle, although a SGCh that affected the mandible and masseter muscle was described ( 11 ).…”

Salivary gland choristoma in the buccinator muscle: A case report and literature review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Salivary gland choristoma (SGCh) is defined as the presence of normal salivary tissue in an abnormal location. It is a rare entity in oral and maxillofacial region and its ethiology is unknown. The typical presentation of salivary gland heterotopia is an asymptomatic mass that may or may not produce saliva. Some examples of ectopic salivary tissue in the pituitary gland, in the lymph nodes, in the middle ear, in the neck, in the jaw, in the thyroid gland, in the mediastinum and in the rectum have been documented in literature. We report the case of a 61-year-old male presented with a bilateral tumorlike mass in the cheek. The mass was painless, of fibrous consistency and had size change with time. The histological diagnosis was salivary gland choristoma in the buccinator muscle. In this article, we will revise the characteristic of salivary gland heterotopias and we present a report case that has not been described in literature: a bilateral choristoma of salivary gland in the buccinator muscle, which should be included in the differential diagnosis of head and neck masses. Key words:Choristoma, heterotopias, ectopic tissue, salivary gland, buccinator muscle.
