Küttner's tumour (chronic sclerosing sialadenitis) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the salivary glands that produces a firm and relatively painful swelling of the glands. Although Küttner's tumour is a common submandibular disease, many clinicians and pathologists have under-recognized this entity because of its superficial resemblance to neoplasia and the presence of only a few reports in the English literature. We report a case of Küttner's tumour in a 41-year-old male who presented with a painless submandibular mass, and discuss its histological and clinical characteristics.
库特纳瘤（慢性硬化性涎腺炎）是一种唾液腺的慢性炎症性疾病，可导致腺体出现质地坚硬且相对疼痛的肿胀。尽管库特纳瘤是一种常见的下颌下疾病，但由于其外观与肿瘤相似，且英文文献中仅有少数报道，许多临床医生和病理学家对该疾病的认识不足。我们报告一例41岁男性库特纳瘤病例，该患者表现为无痛性下颌下肿块，并讨论其组织学和临床特征。
