There is an increased incidence of submandibular gland duct developing sialoliths. Among them the sialoliths attaining a size of more than 1.5 cms are rare. Here we present a case with an abnormally sized sialolith in Wharton’s duct and a review of the literature about the abnormally sized sialoliths and various anatomical and physiological considerations of the duct which contribute to the higher incidence of sialolith in the duct.

AbstractTumours of the sublingual salivary gland are exceptionally rare. The present case report describes an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the sublingual salivary gland occurring in a 16-year-old girl, in itself an uncommon event. In addition, an interesting feature of the presentation was obstruction of the ipsilateral submandibular gland due to involvement of Wharton's duct.

Sialolithiasis is one of the frecuent pathologies that affect the salivary glands, and  the submandibular gland is the most commonly affected due to it´s anatomy. There are many theories that try to explain the etiology, but is not yet fully determined. The most common symptom is the presence of pain, especially when eating because of the salivary stimulation produced by food. Other symptoms seen are the inflammation of the floor of mouth and infection associated with chronic sialadenitis processes; the formation of cutaneous fistulas is rare. This case report presents a 31-year-old male patient  with an extra-oral fistula located on the left side of his neck subzone Ib (submandibular); with chronic sialadenitis associated with sialolithiasis in the left Wharton's duct with a four-year progress. The surgical management is described and a review of the literature is performed.

Introduction: The submandibular gland is located bilaterally in the submandibular triangle. The main submandibular duct or Wharton’s duct, runs with lingual nerve to open in the sublingual papilla at the side of frenulum of the tongue. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the unusual variations of accessory submandibular duct in comparison with main submandibular salivary gland duct. Material & Methods: Nineteen cadavers were dissected to study the submandibular salivary duct. Results: 15.7% incidence of variations were observed. We found that one submandibular region was having unusual path of accessory duct, it emerged from superficial part of the gland and crossed the superficial surface of mylohyoid muscle and bifurcated into two branches. These bifurcated branches of duct pierced the mylohyoid muscle to pass between mylohyoid and hyoglossus muscle. One branch of bifurcated accessory duct opened through papilla in the floor of the mouth behind the lower incisor tooth and second branch of the bifurcated duct anastomosed with the main duct (Wharton’s duct) to open in sublingual papilla. Wharton’s duct of this side followed its normal path to open in the sublingual papilla. Two specimens of submandibular region was observed with duplication of submandibular duct in each submandibular gland. One was main duct and second was accessory duct. Both ducts emerged separately from the deep part of submandibular gland and ended independently into sublingual papilla. Conclusion: Reporting of these variations are important for diagnostic imaging, anatomical teaching and to help surgeons while operating in this region.
