  • Title: Function of salivary glands and sialochemistry in sialadenosis.
    Author: Chilla R, Arglebe C.
    Journal: Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg; 1983; 37(2):158-64. PubMed ID: 6880684.
    Abstract:
    Human sialadenosis is a non-inflammatory disease affecting the cephalic salivary glands, mainly the parotid, characterized by a mostly bilateral, painless swelling due to a substantial increase of the glandular parenchyma. After the presentation of clinical, cytological and biochemical data the probable etiology of this disease is discussed. It is concluded that sialadenosis is not a disease of the salivary glands themselves but of their sympathetic innervation.
