Ectopic submandibular gland presenting as a swelling in the floor of mouth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2006
Abstract
The authors describe a patient who presented with a left sublingual swelling. Ultrasonic and sialographic investigation showed no salivary tissue in the expected left submandibular region, but a large salivary gland in the left floor of the mouth deep to the mylohyoid muscle. This is likely to represent an ectopically positioned submandibular gland.
