Abstract
A morphological pecularity was observed in the form of a submandibular gland having three ducts. These ducts opened separately into the oral cavity. Only the upper and the largest of these three ducts was in th e usual position and had the expected relation to the lingual nerve. S uch a condition is to be kept in mind by a surgeon or a radiologist pe rforming sialography. Unless each of the duct in instilled he may miss pathological findings.
