  • Title: Primary lymphomas of the major salivary glands.
    Author: Batsakis JG.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 1986; 95(1 Pt 1):107-8. PubMed ID: 3946996.
    Abstract:
    The finding of a lymphoma of the major salivary glands (almost always parotid gland) has two diagnostic implications; it is only part of a known disseminated process, or it may be the first clinical-pathologic evidence of lymphoma. In the latter instance, the disease may be localized or, most often, be a precursory lesion to regional or systemic disease. Patients with Sjögren's or sicca syndrome are at increased risk for the development of lymphoma, and their lymphomas are biologically more aggressive.
