On the sialogram of the submandibular gland, ducts and/or glands communicating with Wharton's duct are sometimes seen and considered to be the major sublingual gland or accessory submandibular gland.But no distinct definition of the major sublingual gland image on sialograms is so far given.We defined, therefore, the major sublingual gland image on sialograms mainly referring to anatomical literature. The frequency of appearance of the major sublingual gland image on sialograms was also examined.Our results include:1. The major sublingual gland was defined as follows on the sialogram of the submandibular gland: the gland which has a duct communicating with Wharton's duct within 10mm from the orifice.2. The major sublingual gland was identified on 64 out of 553 submandibular gland sialograms.
