| Abstract: | - 1.1. Six cases of non-inflammatory enlargement of the parotid glands in association with liver disease are described. Moderate obesity was present in all cases, arterial hypertension in three, and impaired glucose tolerance in three.
- 2.2. Similar parotid enlargement has been observed throughout the world in association with evident malnutrition or during recovery from starvation. In Europe and America it has appeared in clinical settings of liver disease, obesity, diabetes mellitus or combinations of these states.
- 3.3. This sort of parotid enlargement seems to have much the same significance as a fatty liver, pointing to disturbed nutrition or metabolism but not defining the disturbance.
