Unilateral
submandibular gland aplasia is a rare entity with only thirteen cases reported
in the literature.
Most of the
published patients were asymptomatic on presentation without any associated
facial anomalies.
We present a
patient with a history of breast cancer with an incidental finding
of unilateral submandibular gland aplasia presenting with asymmetric uptake
of fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (FDG) in the remaining submandibular gland on a
positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
