Rhabdomyomas of the submandibular and sublingual glands.
Rhabdomyomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors distinguished in cardiac and extracardiac forms. Extracardiac rhabdomyomas are classified as adult type, fetal type, and the genital type. Adult extracardiac rhabdomyomas are mostly found in the head and neck and usually present a slow growth. We report a case of a patient with a manifestation in the submandibular and sublingual glands.
