ABSTRACT
El carcinoma escamocelular es la neoplasia maligna más común en la cavidad bucal. Los sitios anatómicos más frecuentemente afectados son el labio inferior, los bordes laterales de lengua y el suelo de la boca. Su etiología es multifactorial, aunque está íntimamente relacionada con factores ambientales como el tabaquismo y el alcoholismo. El cuadro clínico se caracteriza generalmente por la presencia de placas blancas, placas eritematosas, placas entre eritematosas y blancas, úlceras de bordes levantados y masas exofíticas. El tratamiento consiste en la extirpación quirúrgica, la radioterapia, quimioterapia o ambos tratamientos. Este artículo presenta un caso de carcinoma escamocelular bucal en un paciente del sexo masculino, de 70 años de edad. En el mismo se describen los hallazgos clínicos, histopatológicos y el tratamiento correspondiente del caso. El diagnóstico precoz y correcto posibilitó la cura en este caso(AU)

A sialoadenite aguda consiste em uma inflamação aguda das glândulas salivares de origem infecciosa. Geralmente se caracteriza por edema, aumento de temperatura, enrijecimento, dor e diminuição ou ausência de salivação da glândula afetada. Porém, é difícil avaliar corretamente essas mudanças, somente através de exame clínico, portanto, os exames complementares podem auxiliar de forma fundamental no diagnóstico e tratamento. Neste trabalho, é descrito um caso de sialoadenite supurativa aguda em glândula submandibular no qual uma paciente de 70 anos, leucoderma, gênero feminino, apresentava queixa de discreta sintomatologia dolorosa, tendo o diagnóstico sido confirmado através do exame de ultrassonografia e o tratamento de escolha medicamentoso.
Acute sialoadenitis is an acute inflammation of the salivary glands resulting from an infection. It is generally characterized by edema, an increase in temperature, stiffness, pain, and reduced or absent salivation of the gland affected. However, it is difficult to correctly evaluate these alterations relying solely on a clinical examination, since complementary investigations may be of fundamental importance in the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. This paper reports a case of a white 70-year-old female patient, leukoderma, presenting with mild pain, who was diagnosed as having acute suppurative sialoadenitis in the submandibular gland. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound and drugs were the treatment of choice.
