Abstract:
An unusual case of a gingival salivary gland choristoma in a 9-year-old girl is presented. Clinically, the lesion appeared as a tumorlike mass of the maxillary incisor region. Histologic examination of the lesion revealed the presence of pure mucous glandular elements within the connective tissue. The possible mechanisms of its development in this unusual location and the nature of this lesion are discussed.
