Sialocele is a lesion characterized by a cavity filled with saliva and delimited by granulation tissue and is the most commonly observed condition in dogs' salivary glands. A cervical swelling was observed in a male, mixed breed, 12-year-old dog. When punctured, the local was filled with saliva. The animal was referred for sialoadenectomy, and bilateral involvement was observed, with stony material delimiting the sialoceles on both sides. Samples were sent for histopathological examination, which showed cavity areas without epithelial delimitation, with osseous metaplasia and chronic inflammation. Such characteristics allowed the diagnosis of bilateral sialocele associated with osseous metaplasia. The presence of osseous metaplasia in sialoceles is extremely rare, with only four other cases described, which makes it difficult to reach conclusions related to epidemiology and pathogenesis.

“…2,3,7 The rate of sialocele development may be further attenuated by absorption of extravasated saliva by surrounding tissues. 12 Where residual salivary tissue remains, development of a defect at a location independent of the initial rupture site could also be possible because sialography has previously demonstrated multiple defects within the same salivary chain. 1 A limitation of our study was the use of ultrasonography rather than CT in many of our cases.…”

OBJECTIVE To compare the long-term outcomes of a ventral versus lateral surgical approach for mandibular and sublingual sialoadenectomy in dogs with a unilateral sialocele. ANIMALS 46 client-owned dogs. PROCEDURES Medical records of dogs that underwent unilateral sialoadenectomy between 1999 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed, and information was collected regarding signalment, clinical signs, historical treatment, swelling location, diagnostic imaging findings, sialoadenectomy approach, adjunctive treatments, intraoperative complications, hospitalization time, postoperative complications, recurrence, and contralateral sialocele development. RESULTS There were no significant differences in incidences of intraoperative complications, recurrence, or postoperative complications between dogs in which a lateral versus ventral approach was used. Clinically important intraoperative complications included iatrogenic tears in the oral mucosa, ligature slippage from the duct end, hemorrhage, and possible lingual nerve transection. Surgical experience was associated with the likelihood that intraoperative complications would develop. Suspected recurrence was reported in 2 of 26 (8%) dogs that underwent a lateral approach and 2 of 12 (17%) dogs that underwent a ventral approach. Hospitalization time was significantly shorter with the lateral approach than with the ventral approach. Postoperative complications had a short-term onset and occurred in 4 of 25 (16%) dogs that underwent a lateral approach and 3 of 12 (25%) dogs that underwent a ventral approach. Age and presence of a pharyngeal sialocele were associated with development of postoperative complications. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Long-term outcomes for ventral and lateral approaches to sialoadenectomy were favorable and appeared to be comparable. Further prospective study into potential associations of sialoadenectomy approach, age, and pharyngeal sialoceles on outcome is needed.

“…In this study, presence of no significant pathological abnormalities, histopathologically, pointed out the possibility of physical trauma as an etiological factor for the development of sialocele. Earlier studies reported mild atrophy and hemorrhage of glandular tissue on histology in dogs with salivary mucocele (Kazemi et al 2012;Shivaraju et al 2018).…”

Background: Cervical sialocele is one of the most common type of mucoceles. It results from continuous leakage of saliva from the injured duct and/or gland and it is characterized by a gradually growing, fluctuating and painless swelling in the inter-mandibular region or ventrally along the proximal cervical region. Aspiration and drainage are usually inadequate treatments; therefore, surgical ablation of the affected glands along with duct is recommended. Scanty literature on the occurrence and surgical management of cervical sialcocele is traceable in Indian conditions. This clinical study describes mandibular and sublingual sialoadenectomy to treat idiopathic cervical sialocele in dogs.Methods: This clinical study included seven cases of cervical sialocele in adult dogs. Five cases had unilateral while in two it appeared bilateral. The condition was diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical and cytological findings. Unilateral or bilateral sialoadenectomy of the mandibular and sublingual salivary glands, using lateral surgical approach, was done under general anaesthesia.Result: Lateral surgical approach was found adequate without any intra-operative complications. Histopathology of the resected glands showed normal architecture suggesting possibility of physical trauma as an etiology. All cases recovered uneventfully with no recurrence on the same or contralateral side on follow up of 1 year. This clinical study demonstrated that unilateral or bilateral mandibular and sublingual sialoadenectomy using lateral surgical approach may be done safely for the successful management of cervical sialocele in dogs.
