Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.
涎腺多囊（发育异常）病是一种罕见疾病，直到最近才在文献中有所描述。该疾病在女性中更为常见，大多数病例表现为双侧腮腺肿大。本病例为一名21岁男性，是首例仅累及下唇小涎腺的这种罕见疾病。本病例报告强调了临床医生在治疗黏液囊肿这类无害病变时，了解这一鉴别诊断的重要性。
