Adenomatoid serous hyperplasia of sublingual gland: a case report

S Tagawa et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod. 1996 Oct.

Abstract

We present an example of adenomatoid serous lobular hyperplasia of the sublingual gland. Pathologic examination revealed the lesion was composed of multiple aggregates of normal-appearing serous and mucous acini that varied in size. The ratio of serous gland to mucous glands was 7 to 1. We cannot identify the cause of this condition, however, calcium channel blocking agents prescribed for the treatment of this patient's essential hypertension cannot be ruled out as a pathogenetic factor in the development of the lesion.
