title: [Kuttner tumour--review of the literature and report of 3 cases].
abstract: We present 3 cases of Kuttner tumour (or chronic sclerosing sialadenitis of submandibular gland) all treated by surgery. In one case we report bilateral involvement. The disease was first described by Kuttner more than 100 years ago. In the new WHO Classification of tumour-like lesions of the Salivary Glands (1992) Kuttner tumour is classified as a distinct clinicopathologic entity. We also present a review of the literature about etiology, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
