Abstract
Sialoblastomas are rare perinatal epithelial salivary tumors, with only 22 reported cases in the literature. While they have been reported to occur pr edominantly in the parotid gland, we present one case of sialoblastoma of s ubmandibular gland origin. The surgical management of this patient is discu ssed. Histopathologic examination, including immunochemical, ultrastructura l and cytogenetic studies, was performed. Pertinent literature is reviewed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
