The case of an anterior mandibular radiolucent area, which unexpectedly yielded salivary gland tissue, is described. Salivary gland depressions in the posterior mandible are readily recognized because of their almost pathognomonic radiographic appearance. A salivary gland inclusion in the anterior mandible in the proximity of teeth may create a diagnostic dilemma where superimposed periapical pathosis is present. The clinical importance lies in the recognition and appropriate treatment of the lesion. For the anterior salivary gland inclusion, a biopsy and a microscopic examination provide the most reliable diagnosis.
本文描述了一例下颌前部放射性透影区病例，该区域意外发现了唾液腺组织。下颌后部的唾液腺凹陷因其几乎具有特征性的影像学表现而易于识别。下颌前部靠近牙齿处的唾液腺包涵体，若存在根尖周病变的重叠，则可能造成诊断困境。该病变的临床重要性在于对其的识别及恰当治疗。对于前部唾液腺包涵体，活检及显微镜检查可提供最可靠的诊断。
