and commonly occurs at the parotid gland. Patients are usually asymptomatic and
diagnosed incidentally. But dry mouth, difficulty in swallowing, dental
problems may be seen. Also mass complaints may occur due to compensatory
hypertrophy of the other major salivary glands. Herein, we presented the
magnetic resonance imaging findings of a very rare case of bilateral
submandibular gland aplasia with compensatory hypertrophy of sublingual glands.  </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}
