Abstract
Sialoblastoma is a rare neonatal epithelial tumor of salivary gland that generally originates in the parotid gland. Previously it was believed that this tumor did not cause systemic metastasis, and only had local recurrence. However recently it was reported to cause systemic metastasis. For this reason, sialoblastomas are long-term follow-up recommended. Our case was initially diagnosed by intrauterine ultrasonography as a cervical mass. Here we discuss the preoperative investigations, surgical management, histopathological examination and long-term follow-up with review of the literature.
