To describe a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the sublingual gland.
An 80-year-old patient presented with a painless solid submucosal mass of 4 months' duration in the anterior floor of the mouth, appearing as a distinct homogeneous, radiolucent lesion in CT imaging. Histologic findings after complete removal were suggestive of a pleomorphic adenoma almost completely surrounded by a fibrous capsule. No recurrence was observed after a 12-month follow-up.
This case showed the possibility of sublingual salivary gland tumors and highlighted the need to consider them when making a differential diagnosis of masses located in the floor of the mouth.
描述一例罕见的舌下腺多形性腺瘤。
一名 80 岁患者因 4 个月前出现无痛性、质硬黏膜下肿块就诊，CT 影像学表现为界限清楚的均质性、透亮性病变。完全切除后的组织学检查结果提示为多形性腺瘤，几乎完全被纤维囊包围。12 个月随访时未见复发。
本例提示了舌下腺唾液腺肿瘤的可能性，并强调在鉴别诊断位于口底的肿块时需要考虑到这些肿瘤。
