Benign submandibular gland tumors may recur following prior surgical removal. When recurrence is confirmed, a specific surgical strategy is indicated — distinct from initial management.
This protocol applies to patients presenting with a recurrent benign tumor of the submandibular gland — a situation in which the tumor has returned after a previous operative intervention on the same gland.
