Abstract

Background:

This report and review of literature aimed to assess a case of adenocarcinoma of sublingual salivary gland.

Method:

We present a case of a 52-year-old female with adenocarcinoma of sublingual salivary gland displaying painful swelling in the floor of the mouth, which was affecting her speech and mastication.

Conclusion:

Surgery is the treatment of choice for malignant sublingual gland tumors, but the type of surgical intervention depends on the extent of the primary tumor itself. Even though the tumors of the sublingual salivary gland are rare, they are a diagnostic challenge to every head and neck surgeon.

Keywords:

Salivary Glands and Saliva

The salivary glands, of which there are three pairs known as the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and initiating the digestive process. Positioned near the ears, beneath the masseter muscle, the parotid glands secrete saliva into the oral cavity through the parotid duct of Stensen. Meanwhile, the submandibular glands, located on the floor of the mouth, secrete saliva through channels named submandibular ducts. The sublingual glands,...
