Salivary gland duct cyst arising in a minor salivary gland on the floor of the mouth: A case report

Quintessence Int. 2017;48(4):325-328. doi: 10.3290/j.qi.a37707.

Abstract

The salivary gland duct cyst (SGDC) is not commonly encountered on the floor of the mouth and few well-documented case reports are available. To increase the knowledge of this lesion, this report features a diminutive SGDC in a 54-year-old man. Commentary is offered as to the relevance of the affected patient's antecedent history of cholelithiasis.
