Salivoma is an extremely rare pathology after carotid artery surgery. The presence of a high amylase level (85 U/L) in the drainage fluid is pathognomonic for the diagnosis. Reducing glandular secretion by anticholinergic drugs is quite useful for the treatment of salivoma. [Turk J Vasc Surg 2020; 29(1.000): 53-4]
