Key result
Ablation of the submandibular gland for intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia resulted in no evidence of recurrence during follow-up.
Why the study?
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a rare benign endothelial vascular lesion that has been rarely reported in the salivary gland.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report documents a rare instance of Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia in the submandibular gland, successfully treated with ablation without recurrence.
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), a rare benign endothelial vascular lesion related to thrombosis, generally develops in fingers, trunk, head, and neck. Nevertheless, it has been rarely reported in the salivary gland. In this article, we report a case of IPEH of the right submandibular gland in a 37-year-old female whose initial impression was sialadenitis secondary to sialolithiasis. To date, our case may be the first well-documented report of IPEH in the submandibular gland. The patient underwent ablation of the submandibular gland, and no evidence of recurrence was found during follow-up.

Cho et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) of the submandibular gland (n=1). Ablation of the submandibular gland was evaluated on Recurrence. Ablation of the submandibular gland for intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia resulted in no evidence of recurrence during follow-up.
