Article Synopsis
- Heterotopia refers to the abnormal presence of salivary gland tissue in atypical locations during development, and malignant growths from these ectopic tissues are uncommon.
- A case study detailed a 66-year-old male with a neck mass, initially thought to be benign, which was later diagnosed as Secretory Carcinoma (SC) arising from heterotopic salivary gland tissue within a lymph node after surgical removal.
- This case is particularly significant as it highlights the rare occurrence of SC in heterotopic tissues, enhancing knowledge of how tumors in unusual sites behave similarly to those in normal salivary glands.
