Sialoblastoma- long-term follow-up and remission for a rare salivary malignancy

Rare Tumors. 2011 Apr 4;3(2):e13. doi: 10.4081/rt.2011.e13.

Abstract

Sialoblastoma is a rare salivary neoplasm which presents either congenitally or during early infancy. It was originally considered a benign neoplasm, however a number of reported cases have documented locoregional recurrence and distant metastases. Currently, there is no consensus on the appropriate treatment for this neoplasm. We report on long term follow-up of a patient with metastatic sialoblastoma, and a brief discussion of the possible treatment modalities currently being considered.
