Abstract

The present case study reports contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance findings in three patients with histopathologically proven IgG4-related chronic sclerosing sialadenitis of the submandibular gland. All three patients presented with painless swelling of the submandibular region. The contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images showed reticular enhancement of the swollen submandibular gland. Radiological–pathological correlation revealed that the characteristic reticular enhancement corresponded to fibrosis and to inflammatory cell infiltration in the interlobular septa and in the periductal region of the submandibular gland.
