Ectopic striated muscle in the fallopian canal: a histopathologic report. 1979

R W Babin

Two temporal bones are discussed that contain ectopic striated muscle in the horizontal fallopian canal. In one instance, this muscle was clearly innervated by a branch from the geniculate ganglion. This is an unusual histologic finding and the innervation to such a muscle has been rarely identified. The facial nerve surgeon should be aware that a mass encountered during decompression may be developmental rather than neoplastic.

D001934	Branchial Region	A region, of SOMITE development period, that contains a number of paired arches, each with a mesodermal core lined by ectoderm and endoderm on the two sides. In lower aquatic vertebrates, branchial arches develop into GILLS. In higher vertebrates, the arches forms outpouchings and develop into structures of the head and neck. Separating the arches are the branchial clefts or grooves.
