Abstract

The occurrence of a head and neck tumoral mass at birth or shortly afterwards may cause concern and the differential diagnosis may be complex. Sialoblastoma is a rare epithelial tumor of the salivary glands of uncertain malignant potential, which typically affects children and arises more frequently in the parotid gland. The diagnosis may be challenging, as the differential diagnosis is wide.
