Salivary Gland, Duct - Cyst
comment:
Salivary gland duct cysts tend to involve one or a few ducts and usually have a circular profile ( Figure 1
recommendation:
Duct cysts should be diagnosed but are generally not graded unless there is a treatment-related effect on the size of the cysts. If squamous metaplasia of the ductal epithelium is present, it should be diagnosed and graded separately.related links:
