A 40-year-old man with history of extramedullary plasmacytoma in nasal cavity presented with right submandibular mass for 3 months. F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated mild radioactivity in the right submandibular mass, pancreatic mass, and lymph nodes in the abdomen and left hilum of the lung. To differentiate from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was performed. The above lesions were TATE avid, and additional lesions with intense radioactivity were also detected in the right internal mammary node and intrapericardial node. Finally, biopsy of the right submandibular mass confirmed recurrence of extramedullary plasmacytoma.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors composed of mature adipocytes, commonly found in subcutaneous tissues. Despite their prevalence in various body regions, they are relatively rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics, as well as the treatment outcomes of 57 patients diagnosed with lipoma.

Background/objectives: The muscular base of the oral cavity is formed of the mylohyoid muscle, which forms a sling inferior to the tongue. The muscle is often discontinuous, and defects may include salivary tissues, fat, and/or blood vessels. Hypertrophic sublingual glands located in mylohyoid defects can be herniated into bilateral submandibular spaces and present as palpable masses.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic inflammatory condition characterized by tissue infiltration with IgG4-positive plasma cells and a tendency to form mass-like lesions in various organs. IgG4-related sinusitis, although a relatively rare manifestation of IgG4-RD, significantly impacts the paranasal sinuses. A 52-year-old man presented with persistent rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, and headaches.
