Abstract: | Forty-five patients with cnlargement of the pa
rotid or submandibLtlar salivary gland were studied
clinically, histopathologically and histochemically. It
is concluded that there is a kind of salivary gland
enlargement which shows the nature of degenerative
changes. Accordingly, the term "degenerative sia-
losis" is proposed to replace the confusable term
"benign enlargement of salivary gland". |
