(2) reported the first sialendoscopy results on juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) and radioactive iodine (RAI)
sialadenitis in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
They are seldom misdiagnosed as chronic
sialadenitis with sialolith.
1), LNs (n=12),
sialadenitis (n=3), retroperitoneal fibrosis (n=4), renal lesions (n=1), sclerosing cholangitis (n=3), intraorbital inflammation (n=1), and a paravertebral mass (n=1).
Chronic hepatitis C virus infection mainly affects liver andit can be associated with various extrahepatic manifestations including; cryoglobulinemia, glomerulonephritis,
sialadenitis and porphyria cutaneatarda3,4.
The involvement of the salivary glands or
sialadenitis related to IgG4 disease are the most prevalent presentations in the head and neck region, and because of this, are well described in the literature.
A specific autoantibody against 120,000 a-fodrin was found in the early onset of autoimmune
sialadenitis of NOD mice, and its production correlated closely with autoimmune
sialadenitis.
A very rare complication of iodinated contrast media administration is
sialadenitis. In a very large cohort study involving 337,647 patients, various side effects of iodinated contrast media usage were evaluated, but no incidence of any form of
sialadenitis was noted [1].
Other more common acute toxicities include nausea and vomiting, epigastric discomfort and
sialadenitis; however, these are self-limiting conditions (2).
It can be related to chronic irritation of the lower lip (actinic, atopic or mechanical), with potential secondary causes being chronic
sialadenitis, ductal metaplasia and fibrosis.
Clinical manifestation of oral dryness can occur as an adverse effect of over 500 medications.26 Individuals with severe long-standing oral dryness remain at risk of developing infections, such as dental caries, candidiasis and bacterial
sialadenitis. From the perspective of oral rehabilitation, xerogenic medications in elderly denture-wearing individuals can hamper the retention of prosthesis.
However, the gender ratio has been found to be almost equal to IgG4-related inflammatory disorders of the salivary glands (
sialadenitis) and ophthalmic diseases.
While unilateral parotid growth is often seen in the presence of bacterial infections, chronic
sialadenitis, duct obstruction, and neoplastic diseases (such as lymphoma and Warthin's tumor), bilateral growth is expected in the case of masseter muscle hypertrophy, viral infections (such as mumps and HIV), SjS, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, acromegaly, anorexia, and alcoholism (3-5).
