| Abstract: | This paper reports a case of a 50-year-old male with systemic sarcoidosis presenting initially with a dry mouth and bilateral swelling of the parotid salivary glands. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease in which there may be multiple exocrine involvement, including the salivary and lachrymal glands. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The diagnosis and management of this case highlights important clinical issues for dental practitioners. |
