Int J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2021;7(3):561-562.DOI10.18203/issn.2454-5929.ijohns20210524
Abstract
Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis (CSS) or Küttner’s tumour, a rare benign condition affecting submandibular gland, is now believed to be a localised type of IgG4-related disease. It presents as an asymptomatic swelling. Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis. Here we discuss the same in a 55-year-old male presenting as a painless submandibular swelling.
