OBJECTIVES
Multiple affected salivary gland diseases are rare compared to single gland diseases and represent a major diagnostic challenge. These cases are commonly neglected in the scientific literature, despite the considerable suffering of these patients. The aim of this retrospective study was to report disease characteristics, diagnostic pathways, and therapeutic options, including sialendoscopic treatment of multiple affected salivary gland disorders.
METHODS
Patients experiencing multiple affected salivary gland diseases treated between 2013 and 2020 were consecutively identified. Data regarding demographics, clinical presentation, disease characteristics, treatment, complications, and follow-up were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS
In total, 71 patients were identified with these diseases and included obstructive disease without sialolithiasis (n = 22), inflammation (n = 15), immune disease (n = 19), radioiodine-induced sialadenitis (RAI) (n = 5), sialadenosis (n = 2), and juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) (n = 8). Diagnostic and therapeutic sialendoscopy was performed on 113 salivary glands in 42 patients, leading to completely (n = 27, 64.3%) or partially (n = 11, 26.2%) improved symptoms in most cases. In total, 4 patients did not improve after interventional therapy.
CONCLUSIONS
Multiple affected salivary gland diseases are rare and diagnostically challenging. Interventional sialendoscopy offers an effective and safe therapeutic option and should be considered in this specific cohort.
