The late, great French biologist Louis Pasteur once said, 'Chance favors the prepared mind.'<br />A group of Dutch cancer scientists says they've discovered a pair of salivary glands that absolutely no one had ever noticed before.<br />CNN reports the glands are hidden away in the skull, where the nasal cavity and the throat meet.<br />The cancer researchers first came across the body part during a scan designed to look for tumorous growths.<br />The 'unknown entity' cannot be seen on X-rays, or in ultrasound, MRI scans, or PET scans.<br />Rather, the glands can only be seen in a new, highly advanced type of scan called PSMA PET/CT<br />The scientists, from the Netherlands Cancer Institute, propose naming them 'tubarial glands.'
