We report a case of cavernous hemangioma arising in the submandibular gland. Most salivary gland tumors occur in the parotid glands, and cavernous hemangioma rarely arises in the submandibular gland. A 61-year-old woman presented with swelling in the left submandibular region. The clinical diagnosis was a submandibular gland tumor. The tumor was extirpated with the patient under general anesthesia. The tumor was histopathologically diagnosed as a cavernous hemangioma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
