    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2011 Nov; 46(11):2187-9. PubMed ID: 22075356.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of congenital salivary gland fistula is reported. A 3-year-old girl presented with clear discharge from a dimple on the left cheek. An ectopic salivary gland fistula was unexpectedly diagnosed during operation. This is the first case of congenital salivary fistula draining from a minor salivary gland to a cutaneous pit. We completely excised the lesion, and the patient remains complication free.
