Özet
We reported a different presentation of ectodermal dysplasia in which bilateral submandibulary glands were nonfunctional. We also reviewed the literature about the ectodermal dysplasia and related submandibular gland abnormalities. In this case report a 22-years-old female with ectodermal dysplasia is presented, complaining of dryness of her mouth, difficulty of chewing, dysphagia and recurrent upper respiratory tract infections. Further investigations consisted of an ultrasound scan fit and small size submandibular salivary glands. Computed tomography confirmed that showed normal left and right parotid glands and small that both submandibular glands were hypoblastic. A 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy showed normal uptake in the parotid glands. However, no functioning submandibular, glands were shown. Although the submandibular gland abnormalities can be rarely seen in ectodermal dysplasia, to our knowledge, this is the first report which presents nonfunctioning submandibular glands in an ectodermal dysplasia case.
