Abstract

We have encountered four cases of submandibular gland tumor, where ultrasonography was useful as a screening examination.<br>Case 1 and 2: The clinical diagnoses of them were chronic sialadenitis of the submandibular gland. However, ultrasonographic examination suggested the presence of submandibular gland tumor.<br>Case 3: A mentally retardated patient could only be examined by ultrasonography. The findings revealed tumor of the submandibular gland.<br>Case 4: The patient was referred to our hospital for suspicion of Sjögren's syndrome. The submandibular gland tumor was accidentally disclosed on routine ultrasonographic examination of the parotid and submandibular gland. All cases had a tumor size of about 10mm in diameter.<br>Ultrasonographic examination is simple and can disclose the presence of even a small lesion in the salivary gland. The ultrasonography is appropriate method as a screening examination for the submandibular region.
