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...

abstractchronic sialadenitis is a disease of salivary glands associated with chronic infections,systemic diseases and silolithiasis pathogenesis of the disease. primary tuberculoussubmandibulitis is not a reported disease. the diagnosis was confirmed whena 45 years old lady suspicious to submandibular gland tumor was operated on for excisionalbiopsy. histological examination of the specimen by ...

Introduction: Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a relatively uncommon disorder of the salivary gland. Because of its clinical similarity to a salivary gland neoplasm, this condition has been known as Kuttner tumor and is classified as a tumorlike lesion. Case Report: This is the first reported case of bilateral Kuttner tumor of the submandibular glands in Iran. It was initially diagnosed as...

Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a chronic inflammatory salivary gland disease. Küttner reported 4 cases of submandibular gland lesions for the first time in 1896. Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a very rare inflammatory lesion of the parotid gland and cannot be easily distinguished from salivary malignant masses. We reported a 28-year-old male with a painful parotid tumour, which grew slo...

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...

OBJECTIVES Salivary secretions play a critical role in maintaining the health of the oral cavity, which is the first gate of entry to the airways and thus is exposed to a variety of environmental insults. Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is a member of the collectin family and plays an important role in first-line airway defense. The objectives of this study were to examine the expression of SP-A me...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether unique patterns of care are evolving in the United States compared with Germany in endoscopic management of chronic sialadenitis. DESIGN Comparison of consecutive series of patients. SETTING Academic tertiary salivary referral centers in Germany and the United States. PATIENTS A total of 446 patients having chronic sialadenitis treated with salivary endoscop...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To prospectively assess symptoms of obstructive sialadenitis before and after sialendoscopy-assisted salivary duct surgery (SASDS) using the chronic obstructive sialadenitis symptoms (COSS) questionnaire to determine and predict impact of interventions. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Adult patients with chronic obstructive sialadenitis who underwent SAS...
