ABSTRACT
Ectopic salivary gland tissue represents an uncommon lesion, usually presenting as a discharging fistula in the anterior lower neck. Though the origin of this entity still remains unclear, it is thought to be a heteroplasia of the epithelium of the precervical sinus of His. We have experienced a case of ectopic salivary gland with cervical fistula in a 10-year-old. This was thought clinically to be the second branchial cleft cyst, but the pathology showed an ectopic salivary gland. This should be considered as one of the causes of a cystic neck mass or fistula in children.
