Cysts

  • Chapter

Abstract

Cysts in the major salivary glands are rare. Occasionally, a lymphoepithelial cyst or a salivary duct cyst may be encountered in these glands. Lymphoepithelial cysts and branchial cysts appear to share a common element, namely the inclusion of ductal tissue within a lymph node matrix [19]. Polycystic (dysgenetic) bilateral disease of the parotid glands is rare.
