Abstract

Background: Absence or aplasia of the major salivary glands is an uncommon diagnosis and is often associated with other congenital abnormalities. Agenesis of a single submandibular gland, however, is an even more rare phenomenon and can be associated with hypertrophy of other salivary glands.

Methods: A 48-year-old female presented to the clinic with a left-sided neck mass below her mandible. Workup including a CT scan showed an absent left-sided submandibular gland and an enlarged sublingual gland protruding through the mylohyoid muscle.

Results: The patient underwent a transoral resection of the mass with subsequent resolution of the mass. The pathology returned as normal salivary gland tissue.

Conclusions: Sublingual gland hypertrophy is a very uncommon presentation for a patient with a neck mass. This situation can arise in the setting of submandibular gland aplasia and compensatory hypertrophy of other salivary glands.

一例在颌下腺增生的情况下出现舌下腺肥大并表现为颈部肿块的病例。
背景:主要唾液腺缺失或增生是一种不常见的诊断,通常与其他先天性畸形有关。然而,单个颌下腺的缺失是一种更为罕见的现象,而且可能与其他唾液腺的肥大有关:一名 48 岁女性因下颌骨下方左侧颈部肿块就诊。包括 CT 扫描在内的检查结果显示,左侧颌下腺缺失,肿大的舌下腺通过舌骨肌突出:患者接受了经口肿块切除术,随后肿块消退。病理结果显示唾液腺组织正常:舌下腺肥大是颈部肿块患者中非常少见的一种表现。这种情况可能发生在颌下腺增生和其他唾液腺代偿性肥大的情况下。
