Küttner’s Tumour: a Case Report

Abstract

Küttner’s tumour (chronic sclerosing sialadenitis) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the salivary glands. It is a totally benign lesion. However, because of its clinical features, the clinical diagnosis is often that of a salivary gland neoplasm.

We present a case of unilateral Küttner’s tumour in the left submandibular salivary gland and discuss clinical, imaging and histological features.

Key Words:

• Kuttner’s tumour
• chronic sclerosing sialadenitis
• submandibular salivary gland
