Abstract

Introduction: Ectopic salivary gland is rarely found in the vocal cords; only two cases have been reported in the English literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third reported case of this anomaly. Case Presentation. A 78-year-old man with hoarseness two years ago visited our department. There were no other symptoms such as cough or sore throat. He had no history of smoking. Laryngeal endoscopic examination revealed a smooth mass in the anterior right vocal cord. We performed surgery under general anesthesia to remove the polyps and improve hoarseness. The histopathological specimen was reported to be salivary gland tissue. We diagnosed ectopic salivary glands of the vocal cord.

Conclusion: It is necessary to consider the possibility of ectopic salivary glands as mass lesions of the vocal cords. Surgical resection is required and long-term follow-up is necessary after surgery.

声带中发现异位唾液腺:一个罕见病例
简介唾液腺异位在声带中很少见,在英文文献中仅有两例报道。据我们所知,这是第三例此类异常病例。病例介绍。一名 78 岁的男性患者两年前因声音嘶哑来我科就诊。他没有咳嗽或喉咙痛等其他症状。他没有吸烟史。喉内窥镜检查发现他的右声带前部有一个光滑的肿块。我们在全身麻醉下进行了手术,切除了息肉,改善了声音嘶哑。组织病理标本显示为唾液腺组织。我们诊断为声带异位唾液腺:结论:有必要考虑异位唾液腺作为声带肿块病变的可能性。结论:有必要考虑异位涎腺作为声带肿块病变的可能性,需要进行手术切除,术后需要长期随访。
