Imaging of sialadenitis

Clinicopathological study of myoepithelial sialadenitis and chronic sialadenitis (sialolithiasis).

To determine any overlap in pathological features between myoepithelial sialadenitis and chronic sialadenitis/sialolithiasis histological sections from 69 cases of myoepithelial sialadenitis (MESA) (n = 7) and chronic sialadenitis/sialolithiasis (n = 62) were reviewed over a 10 year period. Three of the cases with MESA contained calculi and four of those originally diagnosed as chronic sialaden...

Endoscopic-assisted management of chronic sialadenitis.

BACKGROUND Chronic sialadenitis is a relatively common disorder that is frequently referred to head and neck surgeons for diagnosis and management. The management of the disorder is rapidly evolving with the introduction of salivary endoscopy. The purpose of the present study was a review of the indications and techniques of endoscopic-assisted management of chronic sialadenitis at a single U.S...
