A 60-year-old woman presented with a mass on the left upper side of the neck, which had slowly grown in size over the previous 3 years. A painless, semi-mobile mass approximately with a size of 2-cm-diameter was palpated in the left jugulodigastric region. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a regular-border mass with contrast material retention and with a size of 2.8 x1.5 cm within left carotid artery bifurcation. The mass was excised completely and then histopathological examination revealed a normal salivary gland tissue with serous acini. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an ectopic salivary tissue within the carotid bifurcation in the world literature.Keywords: Carotid body; carotid body tumor; adenoma, pleomorphicTurkiye Klinikleri J Cardiovasc Sci 2007, 19:183-185
