A 52-year-old woman presented with a slightly painful swelling of the right cheek area without postprandial aggravation of the symptom last 1 week. On physical examination, an approximately 1.5 cm sized firm, slightly tender mass was palpated on the right mid-cheek region, and she did not show any abnormal findings on neurologic examination. Computed tomography showed a well-enhanced lesion with low density of internal portion in right cheek area, and tiny calcification was noted within internal low-density portion of cheek mass. These findings suggested sialolithiasis of an accessory parotid gland with duct dilatation. Mid-cheek pain with conservative medical treatment was resolved and has not occurred during 1 year follow-up.

Our review of the literature shows anatomical variation of the submandibular gland is a rare entity, unlike the variation that can be seen in parotid glands. Specifically, bilateral submandibular abnormality has only been reported on one occasion with limited imaging in our review. We report a 78-year-old female with a history of sialadenitis and sialolithiasis who presents with swelling and pain in the right submandibular gland.

Background: The accessory submaxillary gland is a very uncommon anatomical variant, and incidence in the general population has not yet been quantified. The presence of pathology in these glands is rarer still, thus often going unnoticed.
Material And Methods: We describe two accessory submaxillary gland cases, one asymptomatic and the other with chronic sialadenitis in the main and accessory gland caused by sialolithiasis.

We describe a unique case of a 62-year-old patient with recurrent right submandibular sialadenitis. He initially appeared to have extensive sialolithiasis of the right submandibular duct on computed tomography imaging and examination, but sialendoscopy demonstrated a normal-appearing right submandibular duct. An accessory duct posterior and parallel to the normal duct was identified at the time of sialendoscopy and was found to have extensive sialolithiasis, which required removal by both an endoscopic and intraoral technique.

Purpose: Sialolithiasis is the most common cause of chronic sialadenitis. In this case report, intraoperative finding of an accessory submandibular duct, obstructed with stone, originating from the same gland nearby the main Warthon's duct, is presented.
Case Report: A 22-year-old male patient, suffering from eating-related pain and swelling in his left submandibular region, was diagnosed with left sublandibular gland sialadenitis with radiologically manifested sialolithiasis, and gland excision was advised.
