Abstract: Congenital aplasia of the major salivary glands is a rare developmental disorder. This rare disorder involves multiple major salivary glands but the cause of this anomaly is not known yet. Unilateral submandibular gland aplasia is even rarer. Patients are usually asymptomatic and rarely present with dysphagia, xerostomia, difficulty in chewing, and dental problems. We report a case of 17-year-old female, who came with complaints of left side cheek swelling since few months and pain while chewing. On CT patient was found to have absence of right submandibular gland with contralateral hypertrophy of left submandibular gland. In our case, there are no significant associated anomalies. Salivary gland aplasia can be diagnosed by various modalities like CT, MRI, sialography, USG, or nuclear medicine.
