Abstract
Background
Only 8 cases of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) involving the submandibular gland (SMG) have been reported. We report one more such case, involving a 51-year-old man, thus, adding to the available body of knowledge for this specific pathology.
Methods
The patient presented with a growing mass in the right SMG. Along with physical examination, hematologic and imaging-based diagnostic techniques were used. A diagnosis of the right SMG tumor was made and, thus, resection of the right SMG along with the lesion was carried out.
Results
Post-operative pathology was found to correspond to that of RDD. After 24 months of observation, the patient remained healthy.
Conclusion
RDD involving the SMG is rare, but not improbable, and hence, should be considered during diagnosis, especially when accompanied by neck lymph node enlargement. This is imperative because RDD is generally benign and self-limiting, and thus, a correct diagnosis may prevent SMG resection.
期刊介绍：
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
