Sialadenitis und Sialolithiasis

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...

Chronic sialadenitis with sialolithiasis associated with parapharyngeal fistula and tonsillolith

Sialolithiasis is a common salivary pathology, suggested to affect over 1% of the population by postmortem studies. An uncommon complication of sialadenitis and sialolithiasis is the formation of fistulous tracts to other cervicofacial compartments. Submandibular gland sialocutaneous and sialo-oral fistulae have been sparsely described, but a sialo-pharyngeal fistula manifesting as a tonsilloli...

Parotid sialolithiasis in childhood

Sialolithiasis is caused by the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct by the formation of calcareous concretions or sialoliths; this results in salivary ectasia and provokes subsequent dilation of the salivary gland. Sialolithiasis is relatively common, accounting for 30% of salivary diseases; however, it is rarely observed in childhood. This case report describes a 2-year-old m...

Sublingual Gland Sialolithiasis

Sublingual gland sialolithiasis is rare and may be misdiagnosed as submandibular gland sialolithiasis, which is more common. It is important to preoperatively determine which gland is involved, because they require different surgical approaches. Computed tomography is useful for distinguishing between sublingual gland and submandibular gland sialolithiasis. Here we present a case of sublingual ...
