title: [Surgical pathology of submandibular gland. Experience in La Rioja community].
abstract: The AA. had work through medical histories of 44 patients operated for inflammatory and tumoral pathology of submandibular gland. Between inflammatory diseases they emphasize sialolithiasis (45%), acute submaxillaritis (18%) and Kuttner's tumor (11%). Pleomorphic adenoma accounted for the 50% of tumors. Diagnosis was based on each peculiar history sheet, on imaging procedures (simple X-ray plate, echography, sialography, TC) and extemporaneous biopsy. In all cases a complete exeresis of the gland was performed. In malignoma cases the procedure was completed with a prophylactic neck dissection. Incidence of lasting paralysis of the ramus marginalis mandibulae accounted for 6.8%.
