These cysts appear to be formed from excessive aporcine cystic secretions. This fluid is composed of several glycoproteins including a unique 15kD monomer protein, PIP. Cytosolic analysis of normal tissue specimens from all major organs has demonstrated PIP in aporcine epithelia, lacrimal, ceruminous and Moll s glands and in numerous serous cells of the submandibular, tracheal, bronchial, sublingual and minor salivary glands.
