Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, also known as Kuttner tumor, is a benign chronic inflammatory lesion of the salivary gland. Here, we describe a case of chronic sclerosing sialadenitis with mucinous ductal metaplasia in a parotid gland, which was confused with low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma on aspiration cytology.

IgG4-related chronic sclerosing sialadenitis commonly occurs in the submandibular glands. The gold standard for diagnosis of IgG4-related chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a tissue biopsy from the affected organ. Herein, we report the probability of occurrence of IgG4-related chronic sclerosing sialadenitis in both submandibular glands that developed at intervals of months. Therefore, long-term follow-up and whole-body evaluation are essential.

$K{\ddot{u}}ttner$ tumor is a benign inflammatory disease of the salivary gland that clinically mimics a malignant tumor because of its presentation as a unilateral painless hard mass. However the precise cause of this disease is still unknown. Pathologically, it is characterized by infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells. Also, it is accompanied with an elevated level of plasma IgG4. We report one case of $K{\ddot{u}}ttner$ tumor of the right submandibular gland in a 37 year old woman.
