- Abstract
Congenital salivary gland anlage tumor (SGAT) is a benign nasopharyngeal mass that presents with respiratory distress in infancy. Prior case reports have characterized SGAT as a lesion of the nasopharynx without intracranial extension. We report a unique case of SGAT extending through the anterior skull base and discuss the differential diagnosis and management of this unusual entity.
