Gustatory sweating syndrome of the submandibular gland.
Gustatory sweating syndrome involving the submandibular gland is rare. We present a case of a patient who experienced this syndrome 5 years after undergoing submandibular gland resection. Our patient was satisfied simply with an explanation of the disorder and reassurance. But in cases where further intervention is sought, medical and surgical options are available and should be individualized for the patient.
