Inflammatory pseudotumor in the submandibular region. Clinicopathologic study and review of the literature.
A rare case of right submandibular inflammatory pseudotumor in a 63-year-old man is reported. The tumor appeared as a symptomless swelling in the submandibular region and resembled a malignant neoplasm on computed tomographic and magnetic resonance images. Surgical resection was required. The pertinent English and Japanese literature is reviewed, and histologic and electron microscopic findings are discussed.
