The obstetrical sonography examination includes coronal imaging of facial structures to determine the presence of abnormalities. Enlargement or pathology involving the salivary glands rarely occurs. In this case, a coronal sonographic view between the bottom lip and the tongue showed a mass originating under the tongue. The mass was posterior to the tongue, pushing the tongue superior. Sonography demonstrated the tongue and oral mass extruding forward from the oral cavity. The pathology report diagnosed an enlarged salivary sublingual gland. The sublingual gland is usually the smallest of the four major salivary glands located within the oral cavity.

Key Words: obstetric sonography • sublingual gland • salivary gland • sublingual facial mass
