SIALOCELE IN A DOG

12-YEAR-OLD MALE MALTESE WITH ANOREXIA. DURING THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, A
SUBMANDIBULAR MASS WAS FOUND. THE ULTRASOUND REVEALED ANECHOIC CONTENT INSIDE
THE MASS, AND THE CYTOLOGY SHOWED A HIGH NEUTROPHIL COUNT. A NECK AND THORACIC
CT SCAN WAS PERFORMED.



DESCRIPTION

There is a cavitary lesion, with fluid, non-enhancing content, with encapsulated
appearance with well-defined and smooth margins, showing a mild peripheral
contrast enhancement. This lesion extends from the most caudal aspect of the
base of the tongue through the submandibular, retropharyngeal and cervical
areas, caudally up to the cranial and ventral aspect of the thorax, at the level
of the cranial mediastinum.




At the level of the mandibular salivary glands, there is vascularized tissue,
showing contrast enhancement, in the dorsal aspect of the cystic lesion, in the
right retropharyngeal area: this tissue shows an enhancement similar to the
parenchyma of the salivary glands. The cystic lesion displaces the right
mandibular salivary gland laterally.



There are two small mineralized foci at the ventral aspect of the cranial
mediastinal portion of the cystic lesion. These could be mineral foci with a
dystrophic origin, but calculi cannot be completely ruled out (sialoliths that
have migrated caudally).



DIAGNOSIS

Cystic structure in the submandibular, cervical and thoracic area consistent
with a sialocele, originating from a portion of the right mandibular salivary
gland, or a branchial cyst. A neoplasitc process is unlikely, given the
characteristics of the lesion.
