Abstract

Hemangiomas are the most common masses of the major salivary glands in parotid glands in childhood particularly. They occur more frequently in the parotid gland and rarely the submandibular gland. Changes in blood flow dynamics within hemangiomas may induce thrombus formation and phleboliths. Cavernous hemangioma may lead to thrombophlebitis in major salivary glands in adults. To our knowledge, cavernous hemangioma of submandibular glands containing phleboliths in childhood has not been described so far in the literature. In this article, we report the first pediatric case of a cavernous hemangioma containing multiple phleboliths in the submandibular gland mimicking submandibular sialolithiasis in a seven-year-old boy.

Özet

Hemanjiyomlar, çocukluk çağında majör tükürük bezi, özellikle parotis bezlerinin, en sık görülen kitleleridir. Sıklıkla paro- tis bezinde nadiren de submandibüler bezde görülürler. Hemanjiyom içerisinde kan akımındaki değişiklikler, trombüs oluşumu ve flebolitleri tetikleyebilir. Kavernöz hemanjiyom, erişkinlerde majör tükürük bezlerinde tromboflebite neden olabilir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla bugüne kadar literatürde çocukluk çağında submandibüler bezde flebolitler içeren bir kavernöz hemanjiyom olgusu tanımlanmamıştır. Bu yazıda, yedi yaşında bir erkek çocukta submandibüler sialoliti taklit eden, çok sayıda flebolit içeren ilk pediatrik kavernöz hemanjiyom olgusu sunuldu
