Abstract

Forty-four cases of developmental salivary gland defects in 43 patients were analysed radiologically. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. It occurred more frequently in males(86 ％) than in females(14 ％). The age distribution of patients ranged from 20 to 74 years with the average being 52.7 years. 2. All but one were located between the angle of the mandible and the molar tooth. Only one patient showed bilateral occurrence. 3. The shape of the defect was ovoid(15 cases), round(10 cases), or half-ovoid(5 cases) 4. Their size ranged from 5 x 6 mm to 16 x 30 mm with the average around 9 x 14 mm. 5. Twenty-eight cases appeared to be surrounded partially(1/3 - 2/3) by a hyperostotic border. The thickness of the hyperostotic border varied ; thick(14 cases), moderate(l1 cases), thin(9 cases), or mixed(6 cases) 6. Thirteen cases were in contact with the superior border of the mandibular inferior cortex, 11 cases partially eroded the cortical plate, and 7 cases showed discontinuity of the mandibular inferior cortex. 7. Twenty-three cases were located below the mandibular canal, 13 cases overlapped the mandibular canal, and 2 cases showed slight deviation of the mandibular canal.
