Abstract

Introduction: Heterotopic salivary gland tissue (HSGT) is diagnosed when salivary gland tissue is found in areas other than the major or minor salivary glands. No dermoscopic findings of HSGT have been reported.

Case presentation: This case report gives the dermoscopic findings of a 45-year-old woman with HSGT who presented with a longstanding pale red macule on her neck, characterized by repeated clear fluid discharge. Dermoscopic examination showed a red dot with a pale pink halo and telangiectasia throughout the lesion. An excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of HSGT, revealing the presence of mucous and serous salivary glandular structures within subcutaneous fat tissue. It has been reported that HSGT is associated with periductal lymphocytic infiltration, which was also observed in this case.

Conclusion: We think that the "red dot with a pale pink halo" is a unique dermoscopic finding of HSGT, which is rarely observed in branchial anomalies.

颈部异位唾液腺组织的皮肤镜特征：病例报告。

导言：异位唾液腺组织（HSGT）是指在大唾液腺或小唾液腺以外的部位发现唾液腺组织。目前还没有关于皮肤镜下发现异位涎腺组织的报道：该病例报告了一名 45 岁女性 HSGT 患者的皮肤镜检查结果，她的颈部长期出现淡红色斑丘疹，并反复流出透明液体。皮肤镜检查显示，病变处有一个红点，并伴有淡粉色晕圈和毛细血管扩张。切除活检证实了 HSGT 的诊断，发现皮下脂肪组织中存在粘液性和浆液性唾液腺结构。有报道称，HSGT 与导管周围淋巴细胞浸润有关，本病例也观察到了淋巴细胞浸润：我们认为，"带淡粉色晕的红点 "是 HSGT 在皮肤镜下的独特发现，在腮腺畸形中很少见。
