A case of anterior salivary gland inclusion of the mandible is reported and the literature reviewed. It is suggested that these inclusions arise in the same way as the more common examples from the angle of the mandible, by progressive resorption of the lingual cortex in response to pressure exerted by the adjacent salivary glands. It is likely that these lesions become evident on radiographs only when the resorption is marked, and they may, therefore, be more widespread than reported figures indicate. Supportive evidence for this hypothesis is provided by the observations that the lesions usually present in middle age and, on histological examination, exhibit evidence of resorption.
报告一例下颌骨前唾液腺包涵体病例并复习相关文献。提示这些包涵体的发生方式与下颌角更常见的病例相同，即相邻唾液腺施加的压力导致舌侧皮质逐渐吸收。这些病变可能仅在吸收明显时在X线片上才变得明显，因此，它们可能比报告的数据所显示的更为广泛。病变通常出现在中年，且组织学检查显示有吸收迹象，这些观察结果为这一假说提供了支持性证据。
