  • Title: Stensen's duct obstruction by foreign body and subsequent candidal infection of the parotid gland.
    Author: Stefanopoulos PK, Karakassis DT, Triantafyllidou A.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2003 Aug; 117(8):662-5. PubMed ID: 12956927.
    Abstract:
    A case of chronic inflammation complicated by Candida infection of the parotid gland in a 50-year-old woman is presented. This eventually proved to be caused by Stensen's duct obstruction due to an unusual radiolucent foreign body. The process that led to the proper diagnosis is presented and the importance of surgical exploration of the main duct in cases suggesting distal duct obstruction is stressed.
