Agenesis of the salivary glands is an extremely uncommon finding, and in the majority of cases, it is associated with facial syndromes or malformations. Reports in the literature have, however, indicated that agenesis of the major salivary glands can occur in isolation, and this anomaly is believed to occur due to a failure in the developmental process. Herein, we present two cases of isolated unilateral agenesis of major salivary glands.
唾液腺发育不全是一种极为罕见的情况,在大多数病例中,它与面部综合征或畸形有关。然而,文献报道表明,主要唾液腺发育不全可单独发生,并且这种异常被认为是由于发育过程中的失败所致。在此,我们报告两例主要唾液腺孤立性单侧发育不全的病例。
