Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Sialadenitis
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Küttner's tumour, also known as chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, is a benign inflammatory condition affecting salivary glands.
  • It often presents with clinical features that can be mistaken for salivary gland neoplasms, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of unilateral Küttner's tumour affecting the left submandibular salivary gland.
  • Clinical presentation, imaging findings, and histological characteristics of the condition are discussed.

Findings:

  • The study focuses on the diagnostic aspects of Küttner's tumour, differentiating it from malignant salivary gland tumours.
  • Histopathological examination is crucial for definitive diagnosis, revealing characteristic inflammatory and fibrotic changes.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of Küttner's tumour is essential to avoid unnecessary aggressive treatment for a benign condition.
  • Understanding its clinical and imaging features aids clinicians in appropriate patient management and surgical planning.
