Developmental anomalies of the salivary glands are rare. These include aplasia of glands, atresia of ducts, accessory or ectopic glands, and a variety of cysts. Through this case report we are presenting a unique case of bilateral, enlarged, Wharton′s ductal openings that have not been documented yet.
