“…The accessory parotid gland is a well-known anatomical entity with an incidence of 21% in the population ( 1 ). However, the accessory submaxillary gland is such a rare condition that its incidence has not yet been documented, and pathology in these glands is even rarer ( 2 ). Intriguingly, the accessory submaxillary glands have been widely described and investigated in different bat species ( 3 ).…”

“…( 10 ) published the first case of sialadenitis, due probably to sialolithiasis (the referred patient had expelled a small calculus prior to the imaging tests), in the accessory submandibular gland identified by magnetic resonance (MR) sialography. Bryan et al ( 2 ) published the first documented case of a pleomorphic adenoma within an accessory submaxillary gland in 2013. It was identified by ultrasonography, diagnosed by Fine Needle Puncture Aspiration (FNA) cytology and finally during surgery the presence of an accessory gland with a tumor completely separate from the main submaxillary gland was verified.…”

Background The accessory submaxillary gland is a very uncommon anatomical variant, and incidence in the general population has not yet been quantified. The presence of pathology in these glands is rarer still, thus often going unnoticed. Material and Methods We describe two accessory submaxillary gland cases, one asymptomatic and the other with chronic sialadenitis in the main and accessory gland caused by sialolithiasis. Although our diagnosis was by computerized tomography, magnetic resonance sialography is helpful to understand and describe this entity with greater precision. Results The first case report is an incidental finding and no intervention was required. However, case report number two had clinical symptoms and required a first intervention in which the main submaxillary gland was resected, and a second intervention in which the accessory submaxillary gland was removed. Both patients are asymptomatic to date. Conclusions Awareness of the possible presence of accessory submaxillary glands and of potential variations of the excretory ducts is useful in diagnosis, as well as leading to more precise treatment for salivary pathology, and allowing surgeons to avoid complications or injuries during surgery. Key words: Accesory, submaxillary gland, submandibular gland, salivary gland, sialolithiasis, head and neck pathology.

“…3 However, the incidence of an accessory submandibular salivary gland is not known because of its rarity, and there are few case reports. [4][5][6][7] It is probable that the accessory salivary gland results from premature development of an acinar system, with a connecting duct that drains into the main parotid or submandibular duct. 6 Being cross-sectional, MRI provides a 3-dimensional picture of the submandibular salivary gland ductal system, which shows the presence and site of any accessory gland and any underlying disease involving the glandular tissue.…”
