Abstract
|
|
|
|
Ductal papillomas are rare benign lesions of the salivary glands with two distinctive types, intraductal and inverted. The rarest anatomical location where intraductal papillomas occur is the major salivary glands. In the present study, we report an intraductal papilloma of the left sublingual gland with the relevant clinical, imaging, and histopathological findings and postoperative follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case of an intra-ductal papilloma of a sublingual gland to be reported in the international literature. We present this rare case because of its clinical and radiological imitation of a ranula.
