Unilateral Aplasia of the Submandibular Gland with Multiple Calcified Cervical Lymph Nodes: A Case Report and Review of the Litarutre

Abstract

The congenital absence of major salivary glands and nodal calcifications are both extremely rare disorders. We discuss a 67-yearold female patient with unilateral aplasia of the right submandibular gland and hypoplasia of the left submadibular gland, and the simultaneous presence of multiple calcified lymph nodes that were incidentally detected by panoramic radiography and computed tomography.
