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...

introduction: chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a relatively uncommon disorder of the salivary gland. because of its clinical similarity to a salivary gland neoplasm, this condition has been known as kuttner tumor and is classified as a tumorlike lesion. case report: this is the first reported case of bilateral kuttner tumor of the submandibular glands in iran. it was initially diagnosed as a ...

abstractchronic sialadenitis is a disease of salivary glands associated with chronic infections,systemic diseases and silolithiasis pathogenesis of the disease. primary tuberculoussubmandibulitis is not a reported disease. the diagnosis was confirmed whena 45 years old lady suspicious to submandibular gland tumor was operated on for excisionalbiopsy. histological examination of the specimen by ...

echinococcosis is a tissue infection of the human caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus or e. multilocularis. hydatid cyst of the head and neck region is uncommon and involvement of the salivary glands, especially the submandibular gland, is very rare. in this article, a case of submandibular gland hydatid cyst is reported in a patient who presented with swelling of this area of...

Introduction: Submandibular gland excision is the gold standard treatment for submandibular gland disease. Although submandibulectomy is a relatively standardized surgical procedure, complications are frequently reported. These complications include nerve paralysis or paresis, aesthetic sequelae, hematoma, salivary fistulas or sialoceles, wound infections, hypertrophic scars and inflammations c...

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of salivary glands. Most PAs occur in the parotid (80%), followed by the submandibular gland (10%) and minor salivary and sublingual glands (10%). Submandibular gland PAs usually manifest in the submandibular area as a painless hard mass. Although several recurrent parotid gland PA cases have been reported in the literature, recurrent sub...

  Tannins are plant-derived polyphenolic compounds that are widely found in foods, particularly in fruits and beverages. These materials are water-soluble and able to precipitate proteins from aqueous solutions. It had been shown that feeding some animals such as rat and mouse with tannins mimicks the effects of isoproterenol on salivary glands. Tannins stimulate β-receptors by some indirect me...

Salivary gland involvement is one of the radioiodine therapy complications. Salivary gland scintigraphy in quantitative mode can accurately evaluate salivary gland function. Methods: Salivary gland scintigraphy was performed with Tc-99m Pertechnetate, at the time of iodine therapy as a basic study and then 3 weeks and 3 months afterwards. Ejection Fraction (EF) of parotid and submandibula...
