Abstract
Congenital aplasia of the major salivary glands is very rare. Some authors have reported that most congenital aplasia of a major salivary gland is assosiated with multiple other developmental anomalies, especially in the case of craniofacial lesions. Other authors have reported on some cases of aplasia of the partial major salivary glands involved only the parotid glands or submandibular glands without other malformations. Here we report on a very case of aplasia of the bilateral submandibular glands and compensatory hypertrophy of the bilateral lingual glands.
