Opening of the article
Cystic lesions of the salivary glands account up to 5% of all salivary gland masses; if neoplasms are excluded, the number of true cysts is greatly reduced.1 majority of the true cysts occur in the parotid gland and may be classified as either congenital or acquired. A case of cystic lesion in the submandibular gland is being presented because of its rarity and we also review its radiological differential diagnosis.
