“…A CT scan with contrast and MRI can be helpful in demonstrating the origin of these lesions. Usually, when the lesion arises from the sublingual gland, a so-called "tail" sign is diagnostic14). This is a radiolucent and duct-like extension between the lesion and the sublingual gland, and it is usually located at the posterior margin of the mylohyoid muscle or in a dehiscence in the muscle.…”

Mucoceles are common benign cystic lesions of the oral cavity that develop following extravasation or retention of mucous material from the major or minor salivary glands. Mucoceles are usually located in the lower lip (60 to 70% of cases), and the floor of the mouth is only involved in 6 to 15% of cases. Submandibular gland mucocele is extremely rare but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of swelling at the submandibular triangle in young children. We present the rare case of a 16-month-old child who was diagnosed with bilateral submandibular gland mucocele, presenting as serial swellings in both submandibular regions. We removed the cystic mass with the submandibular and sublingual glands to prevent recurrence.

“…When sialocele takes longer than two weeks, a capsule may be formed which can be viewed on CT. 3 Parotid gland diseases, which cause swelling in the parotid area, are parotiditis, aneurism and abscess formation resulting from sialolithiasis, hematoma and neoplasms. 10 These clinical conditions show the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment of traumatic parotid injuries to prevent cutaneous fistulas and salivary gland duct cysts formation.…”
