A fish bone caused a painful submandibular gland swelling in a 62-year-old woman. This foreign body lodged in the main intrasalivary duct, leading to the condition.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Sialology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Submandibular gland swelling can arise from various causes, including infections, tumors, and obstructions.
  • Foreign body impaction in salivary ducts is a rare but significant etiology.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old female presented with a painful, swollen submandibular gland.
  • Clinical examination revealed localized tenderness and swelling in the submandibular region.

Findings:

  • Imaging and subsequent surgical exploration identified a fish bone as the causative agent.
  • The foreign body was located within the main intrasalivary duct of the submandibular gland.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering foreign body ingestion, even unusual ones like fish bones, in the differential diagnosis of submandibular gland swelling.
