Abstract

Salivary duct cyst is a reactive lesion arising on account of duct obstruction and impaction of mucin within salivary gland ducts. The lesion is engendered due to mucus entrapped within duct lumen consequent to salivary gland duct obstruction and occurs within oral mucosal sites, minor salivary glands or parotid gland. Intense obstruction of salivary duct may induce squamous metaplasia or oncocytic metaplasia of dual epithelial layer coating the ducts. Secondary infection may ensue circumscribing nidus of a sialolith.
