Multiple factors can cause pain and inflammation of the salivary glands related to infectious processes, generally of bacterial origin, they can also be of viral origin, tumor alterations, sialoliths, among others, these pathologies being more common among elderly patients Sialadenitis is the most common pathology, affecting the submandibular glands in 70% and sialolithiasis in 1% in the sublingual salivary glands, where we can find changes in the composition of the saliva, consistency and even morphophysiological alterations of its different structures. These characteristics manifest themselves in different pathologies of the salivary glands, including: sialadenosis, pleomorphic adenoma, sialolithiasis, among other reasons why the clinical correlation with the imaging study is crucial for the correct diagnosis of our patients and therefore obtaining the best treatment for them. The case of a patient with a pathological process in the sublingual gland is presented. The information obtained through Magnetic Resonance allowed better planning, approach and performance of the excisional biopsy without complications.
