Malformations of the salivary glands may be an occult cause of sialadenitis, fistulae, tumours, or xerostomia. Diseases of the salivary glands occurring at atypical sites may result from several forms of dystopia of the glands, or from the presence of accessory or aberrant salivary glands, causing considerable problems in differential diagnosis and therapy.
A rare case of congenital parotid gland fistula is reported. A 4-year-old boy presented with a fistula opening at the facial surface of the skin posterior to the left commissure of the lips. This fistula originated from an accessory parotid gland with a duct entirely distinct from the original Stensen's duct. Because of the salivary outflow from the fistula opening, the opening was translocated to the oral cavity using Delore's method.
