More Information
Summary:Metaplastic ossification of a long‐standing cervical sialocoele was identified in a 2‐year‐old male Hellenic Hound dog. Diagnosis was based upon history, clinical findings, paracentesis and histopathology. Trauma or chronic inflammation of the mandibular gland/duct complex were the most probable causes of the ossification. Surgical excision of the ossified mass, as well as of mandibular and sublingual salivary glands/ducts of the affected side, resulted in clinical remission.
