Parotid swelling seen in ALL could be due to infiltration of blasts into the parotid gland, which may mimic mumps. 4 Parotid gland involvement in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has been reported previously as an uncommon presenting manifestation or relapse of disease Ultrasonography performed on the day of initial evaluation revealed no intraparotid masses, lesions, or stones. The patient was encouraged to return if she noticed acute return of swelling so that she could be evaluated when symptomatic. The patient returned days later with acutely worsening left facial swelling, which she noticed while straining
Causes of unilateral parotid enlargement include: duct blockage, for example salivary calculus; tumour infiltration; mumps - although bilateral swelling is more usual; Last reviewed 01/201 Acute bilateral or unilateral swelling associated with pain can be caused by obstruction of the salivary glands by mucous plugging, non-infectious inflammation or a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The imaging findings and fine-needle aspiration, to differentiate between a lymphoma and a benign PSS lymphocytic inflammatory infiltration of the parotid.
Parotid swelling is usually unilateral, although bilateral involvement is seen in 15-25% cases. The disease usually occurs in debilitated, dehydrated patients with poor oral hygiene. Sialography is contraindicated during acute infection. CT scan demonstrates dilated central ducts, enhancing ductal wall and enlarged glands Parotid swelling or enlargement can be unilateral or bilateral, suggesting different underlying causes. Causes. Unilateral. mumps (usually bilateral) tumor infiltration - usually facial nerve palsy; blocked duct e.g. calculus; Bilateral. mumps; sarcoidosis; lymphoma; Mikulicz syndrome (early Sjogrens, bilateral, painless) alcohol-associated parotitis; malnutritio The basics - Assessing parotid swellings. There are many possible causes of parotid swellings, from Sjogren's syndrome to either benign or malignant neoplasms, explain Mr Malcolm Buchanan, Dr Himat Thandi and Miss Jaan Panesar.

Unilateral parotid swelling is more common than Bilateral. The causes of Bilateral swelling: numerous. The causes of Unilateral swelling: a few parotid swelling to emphasize diagnostic differentiation based on imaging. Acute suppurative parotitis Acute suppurative parotitis is an acute, painful, diffuse disease probably developing from an ascending ductal infection. Parotid swelling is usually unilateral, although bilateral involvement is seen in 15-25% cases. Th
Salivary gland swellings usually present on the side of the face, below and in front of the ear (parotid gland), or in the upper part of the neck (tail of the parotid gland and the submandibular gland). A submucosal swelling in the oral cavity should raise suspicion of a sublingual or minor salivary gland neoplasm Common symptoms include fever, headache and bilateral or unilateral parotitis (swelling of the parotid gland on one or both sides of the face). The parotid gland is usually swollen and tender. Parotid swelling usually occurs 16-18 days after exposure to the virus A previously healthy 22-year-old woman presented with acute, unilateral facial and neck swelling, associated with fever and malaise. She was initially treated with intravenous antibiotics; however, CT imaging showed unilateral, synchronous swelling and inflammation of the parotid and submandibular glands, and a PCR swab from the parotid duct was positive for mumps The resulting parotid swelling is usually unilateral, although the incidence of bilateral parotid involvement has been reported to vary from 15% to 25%.23, 24, 25 The disease is seen in the newborn infant, the debilitated patient, the systemically ill patient who may usually be recovering from an abdominal surgical procedure and have had.
characterized by recurrent unilateral or bilateral swelling of the parotid gland, accompanied by pain, fever, and mal- aise. The swelling may last from 3-7 days.3 Leukocytosis may be present, as well as a purulent exudate from Sten- sen's duct lying opposite the second maxillary molar tooth. The attacks usually occur every 3-4 months, wit Sialolithiasis is often present (causing obstructive sialadenitis) and stones are found in ~85% of submandibular ducts and ~15% of parotid ducts 1,7,9. Other causes of acute sialadenitis include dehydration, immunosuppression, iatrogenic (drug-induced) and rarely hematogenous spread 10 Typically your parotid gland will become swollen and painful when there is an obstruction in the duct. According to Cedars Sinai, parotid duct obstruction can occur for various reasons, including: Salivary gland stones (calcium or other mineral buildups
Acute suppurative parotitis is an acute, painful, diffuse disease probably developing from an ascending ductal infection. Parotid swelling is usually unilateral, although bilateral involvement is seen in 15-25% cases. The disease usually occurs in debilitated, dehydrated patients with poor oral hygiene Calculi or strictures produce sialectasis (dilation of salivary duct) with pain/swelling with eating; May require parotidectomy if symptomatic; Sialolithiasis: Caused by salivary stones, usually the submandibular gland because of longer length duct and salivary content; Pain and swelling worse at mealtim Chronic parotitis is a troubling clinical condition char-acterized by repeated infection and infl ammation of the parotid gland caused by decreased salivary fl ow or obstruction. Unilateral swelling, pain, and other associ-ated symptoms occur during acute exacerbations of the disease. A variety of laboratory and radiographic tool unilateral recurrent swelling of the parotid gland, and the conclusions drawn from this study of 109 patientsshouldbeworthwhile. It is clear that parotid stones are a real rarity in the group below 30years, so recurrent enlargement ofthe parotid gland in that age group is most un-likelytobecausedbyacalculus. The typical history in patients with. If there is a parotid or submandibular gland swelling that is persistent and/or unexplained: Arrange urgent referral (for an appointment within 2 weeks) to an ear, nose, and throat surgeon. If there is a suspected salivary gland calculus
Conditions that can cause unilateral parotid swelling. Obstruction due to tumor, stone, or stricture of the duct. Tumors. May be painless unless advanced and associated with decreased saliva production. Definitive diagnosis is with imaging and fine-needle biopsy. Stones as a parotid swelling (intraparotid or paraparotid lymph nodes are in fact a ected) more frequently bilateral, but also unilateral together with few cases described where palate and cheek with eyelid were involved [ , ]. Also, a case of a patient with Kimura s disease manifesting itself as a lymphadenopathy and painful oral ulcerations was reporte A swollen parotid gland may occur due to various different causes. Some of these causative conditions may be mild and temporary whereas others can be serious. Swelling is a consequence of inflammation, fluid or blood accumulation, or abnormal growths. Sometimes this swelling can cause obvious enlargement of the face on the affected side and it.
Unilateral parotid swelling or mass in the lupus erythematosus profundus person is a rare or under reported clinical scenario in existing literature. This is a case of a 49-year-old man with such presentation for whom medical management of the underlying condition led to the resolution of the swelling. Lupus erythematosus profundus must be considered as a differential diagnosis of unexplained. Parotitis may arise on one or both sides (unilateral or bilateral). It may result in swelling of the parotid gland, dry mouth, drooling and pain. There are various causes of parotid gland swelling or enlargement that may not be related to inflammation Autoimmune parotitis usually presents as unilateral recurrent swelling that is painless, of unpredictable duration, and rarely associated with edema. Most childhood forms resolve at puberty and do not progress to the latter two radiographic stages. The adult form is 10 times more common Malignant and benign salivary gland tumors can also cause swelling of the salivary glands. Parotid gland enlargement may also be related to the use of certain drugs (e.g., guanethidine or iodine). Obstruction of the duct from the parotid gland to the mouth (Stensen's duct) by a stone (calcification) can also cause swelling of the parotid gland Sialadenitis is an inflammation of a salivary gland. Salivary glands are the glands that make saliva, which helps with swallowing and digestion and protects your teeth from bacteria. There are three main salivary glands: Sialadenitis mostly affects the parotid and submandibular glands. It can be an acute (sudden), chronic (long term), or.
Intermittent painless unilateral or bilateral swellings without accompanying signs of infection may be idiopathic or due to an underlying condition, such as ductal stenosis or autoimmune disease. Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis presents as a painless unilateral swelling that can mimic tumours. Biopsy is required for diagnosis During mumps parotitis, usually both the left and right parotid glands experience painful swelling, with unilateral swelling in a small percentage of cases. Parotitis occurs 2-3 weeks after exposure to the virus, within two days of developing symptoms, and usually lasts 2-3 days, but it may last as long as a week or longer Sialadenitis: Painful swelling of the affected glands. As a result of Bact'l / Viral infections; allergic infections. Parotid gland is mostly affected. 12. Mumps (Epidemic Parotitis): - Paramyxo virus. - Both parotid glands may be simultaneously involved. - Involved glands continue to enlarge for 2-3 days and return to normal size in 7 days Transient parotid gland swelling could happen as complication after per oral endoscopy or intubation. We reported a 53-year-old man who developed transient unilateral parotid gland swelling following esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) with dilatation of achalasia cardia
Inflammatory swelling is the most common type of facial swelling in children, and lymphadenitis is its most common cause, followed by sinusitis and odontogenic infection. Lymphadenitis most commonly manifests as swelling and erythema in the upper neck and submandibular and/or parotid region Abstract: Background: Unilateral or bilateral swelling of the parotid gland is a reported side effect of rinsing the mouth with chlorhexidine. Although the incidence rate is extremely low, there have been several case reports on this topic and the authors of these reports have suggested several explanations for the mechanism of this complication 5.

Salivary gland swelling is a frequent symptom reflecting different pathologies. If the enlargement is not confined to 1 salivary gland, a systemic cause must be assumed. In spite of that, even other diseases usually causing unilateral salivary gland swelling may occasionally induce bilateral swelling parotid enlargement. Localized edema or ulceration at this site, such as recurrent aphthous ulcers or irritation from orthodon-tic appliances, may obstruct the salivary flow and cause a mild facial swelling. Typically, the enlargement is unilateral and re-solves shortly after the cause is identified. Fig 2 Acute bacterial parotitis is as common in adults as in children. Clinical presentation is typically unilateral, with sudden pain and swelling and increased pain at each meal (salivary colic, even in the absence of lithiasis). The examination of the ostium reveals cloudy saliva or pus

Unilateral parotid swelling, following caudal block without airway device placement Unilateral parotid swelling, following caudal block without airway device placement Lin, Jing; Zuo, Yun‐Xia 2011-02-01 00:00:00 S ir —Anesthesia mumps, characterized by acute transient swelling of the parotid gland that usually resolves within 48 h, was first described by Attas et al. ( 1 ) Each developed acute unilateral parotid gland enlargement over one side of the face proven by sonography. Case 1: A 52-year-old man was scheduled for his third lumbar spine to first sacral spine surgery for scoliosis and spondylolisthesis. When swelling of the parotid gland mm in diameter,(11) but the normal parotid duct is not with duct. Nearly 80% of salivary gland tumors are benign and arise in the parotid gland.1 These tumors are unilateral, asymptomatic, slow-growing, mobile masses, in contrast to malignant tumors, which may. The 4-month history of swelling, hematologic examination, and imaging argue against the likelihood of an inflammatory lesion of the parotid gland. The accessory parotid gland is salivary tissue separated from the main parotid gland and lying on masseter muscle. It has a secondary duct emptying into the Stensen's duct
Abstract. A 45 year old man presented with a swelling on the right side of his face of 12 months duration. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans revealed he did in fact have two discrete tumours of his right parotid gland Clinical features- Patient presents with a slowly progressing bilateral (rarely unilateral) swelling of parotid salivary glands which may be asymptomatic. Rarely patients may complain of reduced salivary flow. Treatment-Management of underlying systemic condition may help in reversing the sialdenosis Parotid swelling May be unilateral or bilateral - bilateral in 73% of cases of parotid sarcoidosis.[3] Diffuse, painless swelling of the parotid other salivary glands/lacrimal [patient.info] A 53-year-old man presented with swelling of his right eyelid, right facial nerve palsy, and swelling of his right parotid gland
[10]. Congenital unilateral absence of the parotid gland is uncommon with only few cases reported. The absence of bilateral parotid glands has been observed in lacrimoau-riculodentodigital(LADD)syndrome[30],inhypoplasiaof the lacrimal glands or absence of lacrimal puncta [31], in hemifacial microstomia, and in ectodermal dysplasia. Th A case of severe, unilateral parotid swelling noted immediaely postoperatively is discussed. Review of medical records at three hospitals over the years 1969-1977 failed to reveal similar cases. This unusual entity falls into the spectrum of previously described 'anesthesia mumps,' and resembles the parotid swelling occasionally noted after. Unilateral parotid swelling on the left side (frontal and sagittal view). Fig. (2) Comparative ultrasound evaluation of the parotid gland, appearing inhomogeneously edematous on the left, with minimal increase in vascularization, in a reactive/phlogistic pattern. After seven days, at suture removal, parotid swelling had decreased significantly.
