Magnetic resonance identification of an accessory submandibular duct and gland: an unusual variant
We report a case of an accessory submandibular gland and duct which is extremely rare.
Material and methods: A 20-year-old male presented with complaints of painful swelling in
the right submandibular region. As a part of the radiological investigation, a radiograph
occlusal view was taken digital sialography, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic
resonance sialography were performed. Results: Digital sialography revealed a small
calculus distal to the punctum with diffuse dilatation of the main duct and intraglandular …

Author's reply I am grateful for JD Harrison's comments on our article. We diagnosed our
case of accessory submandibular gland and duct on the basis of the presence of two ducts
originating from the same orifice, the lower one leading to glandular tissue. Our case is
similar to that reported by Towers, 1 which this author labelled as duplication of the
submandibular duct. However, we appreciate JD Harrison's comment that the accessory
submandibular gland and the sublingual gland can simulate each other. To the best of our …
