[Inflammatory granulation tissue polyp of the submandibular gland].
Case report on a pedunculated granulation tissue formation in a duct of the salivary gland with consecutive obstructive sialadenitis, clinically imposing as submandibular tumour. The morphologically particular and rare form of such a repair process in a salivary gland can be explained by the continuous chronic irritation of a foreign body. The significance of such a benign lesion is primarily given by clinical differential diagnosis to a tumorous process, where the histological verification permits the exclusion of a tumour.
