description | Submandibular gland, the second largest salivary gland is commonly affected by various disorders. They range from
sialolithiasis, sialoadenitis, and systemic conditions to focal benign or malignant lesions. Being superficial, the gland is
very well evaluated by high frequency ultrasound. The disease characterization is possible in large number of cases. The
ease in guidance for fine needle aspiration or biopsy has made ultrasound a preferred imaging modality in evaluation of
submandibular gland diseases.
The common pathologies and their ultrasound appearances are discussed in this article. |
