The tumors of the submaxillary gland are rare. The authors are reviewing 23 cases gathered from three Departments over ten years. The tumors of the submaxillary gland are malignant in as many as 50% of all cases! When the lesion is benign, pleiomorphic adenoma is the most frequent possibility. The authors emphasize the necessity of early and complete surgical treatment, requiring at least total submaxillectomy in case of benign tumor. Cervical mode dissection will be considered if the tumor is malignant.

To investigate the clinical effect of retroauricular hairline approach in submandibular gland resection assisted by endoscope. A total of 18 patients with submandibular gland benign tumors treated in our hospital from September 2022 to September 2023 were selected. A 5 cm incision was designed in the retroauricular hairline, and the flap was turned over directly to the anterior edge of sternocleidomastoid muscle, then the flap was turned over to build the cavity through endoscopic surgery, and submandibular gland resection was completed with the assistance of endoscope.

This case report delves into the intricate medical history of an 85-year-old male who experienced a myriad of health challenges throughout his years. With a medical history full of conditions, such as stroke, sinus bradycardia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe pulmonary hypertension, and chronic gastritis, the patient´s health profile is further complicated by prostatic hypertrophy, persistent dorsalgia and lumbalgia, the presence of a thyroid nodule, and a recent onset of hypothyroidism. Among the diverse medical conditions of this patient, our narrative is primarily centered on his latest diagnosis: non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma.
