  • Title: Tumour of the juxtaoral organ.
    Author: Bénateau H, Rigau V, Comoz F, Benchemam Y, Galateau F, Compère JF.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2003 Feb; 32(1):101-3. PubMed ID: 12653244.
    Abstract:
    The juxtaoral organ is a normal and constant structure of the oral cavity. It consists of benign epithelial nests. We describe an intraoral tumour of the juxtaoral organ in a child. The tumour was not diagnosed after clinical and radiological examinations because it is extremely rare. A histological examination revealed a tumour of the juxtaoral organ, presumed to be neuroid hamartoma. This is only the second time that a tumour of the juxtaoral organ has been described in a child. We also describe the location, the embryology, the histology and the function of this organ. This is important because this structure can be confused with carcinomas of the oral cavity when examining frozen sections.
