Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas constitute 25 to 40% of all lymphomas. The gastrointestinal tract is the most common site followed by the head and neck area. Salivary gland involvement is a very rare entity and is involved in 0.5 to 5% of all cases. Among all the major salivary glands, the parotid gland is commonly involved followed by the submandibular glands. Misdiagnosis often leads to unnecessary d...

Purpose Sialolithiasis is one of the most prevalent large obstructive disorders of the submandibular glands. The aim of this study was to investigate submandibular sialolithiasis with computed tomography (CT) and scintigraphy, with a particular focus on the relationship between CT values of the submandibular glands and their excretion rate. Materials and Methods Fifteen patients with submandi...

Objective. Reporting of a rare case of postoperative submandibular gland swelling following craniotomy. Case Report. A 33-year-old male underwent resection for a brain tumor under general anesthesia. The tumor was resected via a retrosigmoid suboccipital approach and the patient was placed in a lateral position with his face down and turned to the right. Slight swelling of the right submandibul...

Submandibular gland ptosis is a common impediment to obtaining superior surgical aesthetic results in neck lift surgery. Techniques for suspending the submandibular gland have been proposed, but these procedures have the drawbacks of disturbing the floor of the mouth mucosa and periosteum. We present an approach of submandibular gland suspension for the treatment of gland ptosis by employing a ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the MR appearance of normal and pathologic states of the submandibular gland. METHODS MR images of 22 healthy subjects and 21 patients with histopathologically confirmed disorders of the submandibular gland (five pleomorphic adenomas, two hemangiomas, two malignant lymphomas, one adenoid cystic carcinoma, one squamous cell carcinoma, and 10 cases of sialadenitis) were revi...

Objective: Surgical removal is a valid option in the treatment of submandibular gland diseases but there are still operative and diagnostic pitfalls. We aimed to review investigate long-term clinical, surgical, pathologic outcomes our cases that had undergone removal. Materials Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent excision via transcervical approach with minim...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to compare the prevalence of submandibular gland neoplasia in an Asian population with a Western population and to evaluate the accuracy of fi ne needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and computed tomography (CT) scan in the study of submandibular gland pathologies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a 10-year retrospective review of 101 submandibular ...

Sialoliths most commonly occur in the submandibular gland. We present a case of a giant sialolith in the hilum of the submandibular gland. A 58-year-old male patient was referred to our department for treatment of a fracture in the right mandible with swelling and pain; he did not complain of any complications in the left mandibular region. In a panoramic radiograph and CT examinations, a large...

Introduction: Pathologically sialolithiasis is a disease which results in the obstruction of a salivary gland by a sialolith. Sialolith is generally seen in small size and their sizes range from 1 mm to 1 cm. Large salivary gland calculi are infrequent and defined as the size of 1.5 cm or larger. Only a few cases of large sialolith of the submandibular glands have been reported in literature. I...

Kuttner tumor is a relatively uncommon disease of the salivary gland. It is also known as chronic sclerosing sialadenitis or cirrhosis of the submandibular gland. The examination of the submandibular gland characterizes clinically by a firm swelling of the gland, and histologically by progressive periductal sclerosis, dense lymphocytic infiltration with lymphoid follicle formation, reduction of...
