Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2006 Mar;132(3):339-41. doi: 10.1001/archotol.132.3.339.

Abstract

Canalicular adenoma is a rare benign salivary gland tumor that occurs almost exclusively in the upper lip. Rarely, this benign tumor may occur multifocally in the oral cavity. We report a case of canalicular adenoma in bilateral parotid glands, discuss histological characteristics, and review this tumor.
