Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Head and neck region are a relatively common location for soft tissues calcifications of various structures to occur in large population. They are one of the most common accidental finding during routine panoramic survey. Submandibular and cervical nodes are most commonly involved calcified nodes and are usually asymptomatic. Though identification might be difficult because of its close proximity to other structure in head and neck region. So practitioner must be aware of similar lesion occurring in this region from other radiopacities for differentiable diagnosis. Here we report a case of a multiple right submandibular and cervical lymph node calcification in 40 year old male patient which was an coincidental finding on panoramic radiograph.
