“…Extirpation of the mandibular and sublingual salivary glands using the techniques described in the literature was employed in 35 of the 39 surgically managed sialocoele cases (Kealy 1964, .Hoffer 1975, Knecht 1980, Grandage and others 1985, Smith 1985, Waldron and Smith 1991. Particular care was paid to removal of as much of the rostral lobulated portion of the gland as possible.…”

Sixty cases of canine sialocoele were reviewed from the records of the Sydney University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Poodles, dachshunds and Australian silky terriers were significantly over represented in the survey when compared to the hospital sample population (P&0.01). No other statistically significant breed, sex, or age trends were noted. Neoplasia was associated with sialocoele formation in three cases. The sialocoele location was cervical (42), sublingual (four), pharyngeal (four), not recorded (one) or in more than one site (nine). Thirty‐five of 39 surgically treated cases were managed by extirpation of the mandibular and sublingual salivary glands together with drainage. Few complications were recorded. Forty‐two per cent of the cases had received previous veterinary treatment in the form of drainage alone. Drainage of saliva from sialocoeles without removal of the offending salivary glands is inappropriate.

“…The present case was considered to be a salivary mucocele that developed in the palate gland from the point of origin. All current reports on salivary mucoceles in the dog have been about those that arose from the major salivary glands, not salivary mucoceles from the minor salivary gland [4][5][6]. This case is the first such report to our knowledge.…”

ABSTRACT. We found a case of salivary mucocele that originated in the minor salivary gland (palatine gland) of the soft palate in a dog. At first admission, the soft palate swelled remarkably. Computed tomography (CT) revealed cystic radiolucency inside a large quantity of liquid in the soft palate, and most of the airway was occupied. Marsupialization was performed, but since a recurrence was observed one month later, the salivary mucocele was removed. There has been no report of salivary mucocele arising from the minor salivary gland of the soft palate in dogs. To our knowledge, this case is the first. Complete removal, including minor salivary glands surrounding the lesion, is necessary for treatment of salivary mucocele in dogs. The mucocele is a common lesion of the oral mucosa resulting from rupture of a saliva gland duct and spillage of mucin into the surrounding soft tissues [11]. Although salivary mucoceles of the minor salivary glands are common in human dentistry, reports of them in the palatine glands, which are minor salivary glands, is very rare [2,3,7,9,11]. To date, all reports in dogs have concerned salivary mucoceles that arose from the major salivary glands, not salivary mucoceles from the minor salivary glands [4][5][6]. CT was performed on a dog with a remarkably swollen soft palate and recognized dyspnea. The removal operation led to the diagnosis that the salivary mucocele originated in a minor salivary gland (palatine gland).This case was a 7-year-old female Welsh Corgi weighing 9.4 kg. Three years previously, the dog presented with an abnormal breathing sound at 4 years of age. At that time, remarkable swelling of the soft palate was confirmed by oral examination under sedation, and approximately 10 ml of blackish brown, highly viscous liquid was collected by puncture and drainage. Complete blood cell count and serum biochemistry profiles were within normal limits. The dog improved temporarily after puncture and drainage of the soft palate. However, recurrence occurred every 2-6 months. When the condition changed for the worse, the dog lapsed into dyspnea as a result of airway occlusion. In addition, 15 ml or more of fluid occasionally accumulated. In the puncture fluid examination, the bacterial culture was negative, and some reactive neutrophils were noted in the retained fluid, but there were no atypical cells. Therefore, it was judged that the swelling of the soft palate was not infectiousness or neoplastic. Fundamental treatment was judged difficult by puncture drainage, and the dog was referred to the Animal Medical Center, Gifu University, for screening and treatment.At first admission, breathing with a snoring sound and slight accelerated respiration were noted. When the mouth was opened and observed, the soft palate was observed to * CORRESPONDENCE TO: WATANABE, K., Laboratory of Veterinary Surgery, Department of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Applied Biological Sciences, Gifu University, 1-1 Yanagido, Gifu 501-1193, Japan. e-mail: nabechan@gifu-u.ac.jp ©2012 The Japanese Socie...

“…[4][5][6][7] The majority of sialocoeles arise from defects of the sublingual gland/duct complex and occur in the cranial cervical or intermandibular area. [1][2][3]7 The wall of a cervical sialocoele consists of granulation tissue. 8 Major aetiologies of soft tissue ossification in dogs are trauma, tumours, various inflammatory conditions, or fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.…”

Metaplastic ossification of a cervical sialocoele in a dog

Metaplastic ossification of a long-standing cervical sialocoele was identified in a 2-year-old male Hellenic Hound dog. Diagnosis was based upon history, clinical findings, paracentesis and histopathology. Trauma or chronic inflammation of the mandibular gland/duct complex were the most probable causes of the ossification. Surgical excision of the ossified mass, as well as of mandibular and sublingual salivary glands/ducts of the affected side, resulted in clinical remission.
