2024年8月20日 · The submandibular glands (historically also known as the submaxillary glands) are one of the three paired major salivary glands, located inferior and posterior to the body of the mandible, in the submandibular (digastric) triangle.

2024年10月31日 · Submandibular gland enlargement refers to an increase in the volume of the submandibular gland, exceeding "normal" values of 7.4 ± 1.8 mL 1. Pathology Causes Obstruction. sialolithiasis. submandibular duct stenosis (e.g. tumor, granulomatous disease) Infection. acute sialadenitis: following sialolithiasis

2017年3月7日 · Submandibular glands. The submandibular gland is approximately half the size of the parotid gland and is located in the posterior aspect of the submandibular triangle. While the superficial lobe forms the bulk of the gland in the submandibular space, the deep lobe folds around the posterior free edge of the mylohyoid muscle to reside in the ...

The submandibular gland is the second largest salivary gland and is located in the floor of the mouth adjacent to the posterior body of mandible along the free edge of the mylohyoid muscle. The amount of adipose tissue is relatively lower than that of parotid gland.

2018年4月19日 · Axial contrast-enhanced CT images of the floor of the mouth illustrates a well-circumscribed cystic lesion predominantly occupying the left submandibular space causing a mass effect on the left submandibular gland (a, arrow).

2024年3月25日 · The principal component of the submandibular space is the submandibular gland, wrapping around the mylohyoid muscle like the letter C, with the larger superficial lobe inferolateral to the mylohyoid, running parallel to the anterior digastric belly, and the smaller deep lobe, along with the hilum, lying superomedial to the mylohyoid.

Sialolithiasis ( salivary gland stone disease ) is the single commonest disorder of the salivary glands. Of this, the vast majority (more than 80%) occurs in the submandibular gland. Limited CT is excellent at identifying salivary duct stones and in the acute presentation may identify gland enlargement and inflammation in keeping with ...

2000年7月1日 · Because of the importance of identifying small calculi in the gland or salivary duct as the cause of the symptom complex, nonenhanced computed tomography is often the best initial study for the evaluation of the painful gland.

This case report describes a patient presenting with an unusually enlarged submandibular gland because of a large submandibular duct sialolith and its diagnosis with special emphasis on the use of computed tomography scan for the non-radiopaque sialoliths.

Accuracy of diagnosis of salivary gland tumors with the use of ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging: a meta-analysis.
