The unusual case of a 60 year-old woman is discussed. She presented with sialadenitis, paresis of the facial nerve, keratoconjunctivitis and ulcus vulvae. Basic anamnestic information revealed primary enlargement of the submandibular gland, fever, otitis, sinusitis and a pulmonary tumour. The serum immunoglobulin E level was raised. In addition to the necrotic granulomas in the lungs, spleen and kidney, characteristic changes were found in the lymph nodes, liver, pancreas and colon.

This study examines 55 cases involving patients who underwent submandibular gland excision. Their preoperative diagnostic examinations, postoperative complications, and glandular pathology are discussed. Sialolithiasis was the main histopathological finding, followed by chronic sialadenitis. Temporary paresis of the mandibular branch of the facial nerve was the most common postoperative complication. Removing the submandibular salivary gland may be followed by a number of complications, most of which can be avoided if the appropriate surgical technique is applied.
