Lymphoepithelial carcinoma in the sublingual gland

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2022
Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is rare in the salivary glands, with an incidence of 0.4%. The most commonly affected site is the parotid gland, followed by the submandibular gland. Lymphoepithelial carcinoma in the sublingual gland has been reported only four times in the existing English-language literature.

Sialolithiasis in the sublingual gland

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2003
Sialolithiasis is a major cause of salivary gland dysfunction. The submandibular gland is the most common site followed by the parotid gland. The sublingual gland and minor glands are very rare sites for stone formation. This paper describes a case of multiple sialoliths arising in the sublingual gland.

Ultrastructure of the Ferret Sublingual Gland

Cells Tissues Organs, 1989
The sublingual glands of 2 male and 2 female adult ferrets were examined using electron microscopy. The secretory end piece consisted of mucous tubules, serous and mixed acini. The mucous cells showed two different types of granules. The serous cells contained electron-dense secretory granules. The duct system entirely comprised excretory ducts.

Ranula and the Sublingual Salivary Glands

Archives of Otolaryngology, 1977
The term "ranula" is poorly understood and is frequently applied to a variety of cystic structures in the head and neck. Ranulas classically are cysts of salivary gland origin, usually the sublingual glands, of which two varieties are described: a simple, epithelial lined cyst resulting from ductal obstruction, and a pseudocyst without epithelial ...

Cancer of the sublingual salivary gland

The American Journal of Surgery, 1969
Abstract 1. 1. Fifteen cases of malignant tumors of the sublingual salivary gland are reported, increasing to thirty-seven the reported number of these rare lesions. 2. 2. Tumors of the sublingual gland should be considered malignant until proved otherwise. 3. 3.

Histochemistry of Human Sublingual Glands

Nature, 1961
BIOLOGICAL work on salivary glands has revealed that sialic acid is the only acidic component in the bovine submaxillary gland and probably in the sublingual gland of the rat1–3. These findings resulted in the elaboration of a method for the removal of sialic acid in tissue sections known to contain abundant amounts of this sialo-mucin4,5.

Sublingual Gland

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1991
The smallest of the major salivary glands, the sublingual gland is unusually the origin of a salivary neoplasm. When it is, however, the odds are greatly in favor of the neoplasm's being malignant. The gland is also uniquely associated with two nonneoplastic disorders: The cervical ranula and herniation through the mylohyoid ...

The mucin of bovine sublingual glands

Archives of Oral Biology, 1960
Abstract Extracts of bovine sublingual glands were fractionated and the materials (mucin) responsible for the viscous stringy properties of the extracts were extensively purified. The progress of purification was followed by electrophoretic, ultracentrifugal and viscometric measurements. The purest product contained 23.3 per cent N-acetyl-hexosamine,

Ultrastructure of the cat sublingual gland

The Anatomical Record, 1977
AbstractThe sublingual gland of the cat consists primarily of branched secretory tubules that open into an abbreviated duct system. The simple epithelium that composes the secretory tubules consists of an admixture of mucous and serous cells, with the former predominating. Some secretory tubules are capped by a serous demilune.

Sarcoidosis and ranula of a sublingual gland

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1975
A case is reported in which ranula was successfully managed by excision of the sublingual gland in a 26-year-old Negro man. Histopathologic examination revealed sarcoidosis of the sublingual gland. The transsected Wharton's duct was successfully transplanted in the floor of the oral cavity.
