Fig. 3. — Obstructive sialadenitis complicated by extra-glandular abscess, contrast-enhanced CT. (A) The bone window image demonstrates a mineralised stone (arrow) within the right Wharton's duct. (B-D) The soft tissue window images show enlargement of the right submandibular gland (black asterisk), thickening of the submandibular fat tissue producing a "dirty fat" appearance. At the level of the neck swelling (arrowheads), CT demonstrates an abscess (white asterisks) in the submandibular space. The calculus is shown also the coronal plane (arrow).
