Objective The aim of this study was to assess the demographic findings and surgical results of patients who underwent submandibular gland excision at a tertiary care center. Methods The clinical characteristics and histopathological results of 45 patients who had undergone submandibular gland excision between 1997 and 2014 were evaluated in detail.

Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common salivary gland tumours. It is rare to find these tumours in submandibular glands. This case report about a twenty-year old male patient who presented with huge mass on region. The facial disfigurement due tumour was responsible for low self-esteem this young male. treated complete left excision.

Actinomycosis of the submandibular gland is unusual. A 55-year-old male presented with a right, painless submandibular mass of four-year duration. Physical examination revealed a 4 x 3-cm mass in the submandibular region. Ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration from the lesion showed microorganisms compatible with actinomyces colonies in the glandular tissue. The diagnosis was made as act...

Salivary gland diseases are diverse, including neoplastic, cystic and inflammatory diseases, often difficult to diagnose. Ranula is a mucous retention cyst encountered clinically. Sialolithiasis usually caused by the submandibular gland; reports identifying sublingual as cause low at 0 6.4%. To date, there has only been one case report of combination ranula sialolith. We sublingual-plunging con...

ABSTRACT Background: The oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the most common malignant tumor of cavity, have aggressive biological behavior and is treated with surgical excision, lymph node dissection submandibular gland excision. However, rarely involved by OSCC. study aimed to identify prevalence involvement metastasis in cavity patients at a tertiary care center Pakistan. Methods: cancer (1...

A sialoblastoma is a rare congenital epithelial tumor that arises in a major salivary gland. To our knowledge, only 24 cases of sialoblastoma have been previously reported in the English-language literature. We report a new case, that of a 15-month-old boy who presented with a submandibular mass. Surgical excision of the mass was undertaken. Intraoperatively, the mass appeared to be adjacent to...

Background. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to the salivary glands is extremely rare. Most cases reported previously have involved the parotid gland and only six cases involving the submandibular gland exist in the current literature. Metastasis of RCC to thyroid gland is also rare but appears to be more common than to salivary glands. Methods and Results. We present the first case of sim...

neoplasms that arise in the salivary glands are relatively rare, yet they represent a wide variety of both benign and malignant histologic subtypes. approximately 70% of the salivary gland tumors affect parotid gland with the submandibular gland being affected in 5-10% of the cases, sublingual gland in 1% and minor glands in 5-15% of the cases. submandibular gland tumors are relatively rare and...
