Abstract
In this case report, we detail a rare instance of sialadenitis secondary to bilateral hypertrophic torus mandibularis (TM) in a 70-year-old Caucasian male who presented with neck swelling, dysphagia, and weight loss. Radiographic evaluations revealed enlarged TM obstructing Wharton's duct, further complicated by a sialolith. The patient's treatment regimen included antibiotics, oral steroids, and sialogogues, accompanied by surgical removal of the hypertrophic TM and sialoendoscopy, which resulted in significant symptomatic relief and the resolution of sialadenitis. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing mechanical etiologies in patients presenting with sialadenitis, particularly when linked to pronounced anatomical abnormalities like TM.
