Salivary Choristoma in the Floor of Mouth: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Salivary choristoma is a tumor like growth of otherwise normal salivary gland found in an abnormal location. It develops from groups of primordial cells located at a site remote from the original tissue. This case report describes a patient presented with swelling in the floor of mouth and occasional watery discharge from the swelling. Histopathological Examination showed the presence of salivary gland lobules suggesting it to be salivary choristoma. This rare case emphasizes upon considering this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of swelling in the oral cavity and oropharynx.
