Schwannoma of the Submandibular Gland: A Rare Case Report

Sialoliths are calcerous concretions seen in the salivary gland parenchyma or its duct, accounting more than 50% of salivary gland diseases. Giant sialoliths measuring 35 mm are rare, with only 19 cases published in literature. Ninety‑five percent of the giant sialoliths reported were in the submandibular gland, all occurring in male patients. Preoperative imaging help in defining the size,location of lesion and helps in planning approach. We are reporting a rare case of giant submandibular gland sialolith in a 52 year male patient measuring 40 mm (probably largest in india), which was removed through transcervical approach under general anesthesia.

Gland Duct

ABSTRACT Sialolithiasis is a pathological process that affects the major salivary glands. It consists of calcifications that obstruct the parenchyma of the gland and / or the lumen of the ducts. The 37 years old female patient, VBB, leucoderma, attended the stomatology service with a complaint of swelling in the floor of mouth, which she noticed 10 years ago. The clinical and radiographic exams indicated a diagnosis of multiple sialolithiasis in the left submandibular gland duct. Surgical intervention was indicated in this case. Amongst all sialolithiasis cases, 80% affect the submandibular glands. Of these, 70% are isolated sialoliths. Only 5% of cases present more than 3 calcifications. This study aims to report the diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of multiple sialoliths located in the duct of the submandibular gland, which were surgically removed via intraoral access.

Küttner’S Tumor

ABSTRACT Küttner's tumor (KT) remains an underdiagnosed medical identity and is often confused as a malignancy or a metastatic lymph node. It is a benign identity involving the salivary glands and is also known as chronic sclerosing sialadenitis (CSS). Histopathological examination of these tumors demonstrates features of chronic inflammation and fibrosis. We report a case of KT of the left submandibular gland in view of developing insights about diagnosing and managing this rare clinical entity.
