Abstract
- Kuttner tumor or chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a benign inflammatory condition of the salivary gland that mimics a malignant neoplasm clinically because of its presentation as a hard mass. The cause of this inflammatory is still unknown. The effects of microliths, infectious agents, secretory dysfunctions, duct abnormalities, and immune processes have been considered. Histologically, it is characterized by progressive periductal sclerosis, acinar atrophy, and dense infiltration of lymphocytes. Kuttner tumor is best diagnosed by open or excisional biopsy. We report one case of Kuttner tumor of right submandibular gland in a 42 year old man.
