Abstract:
We report a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from heterotopic salivary gland tissue in the upper neck. Although it is difficult to differentiate this condition from lymph node diseases-including metastasis- on the basis of radiologic findings alone, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of a solitary unilateral solid cervical mass, particularly one in the upper neck.
