  • Title: Non-neoplastic salivary gland diseases in children.
    Author: Strome M.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 1977 Jun; 10(2):391-8. PubMed ID: 896203.
    Abstract:
    Parotid enlargement in childhood is a diagnostic challenge to all physicians. A frame of reference has been established wherein the disease spectrum involving the child's parotid glands can be outlined in a stepwise manner. In some instances after sialography, specific hematologic tests, and cultures the diagnosis will remain obscure until a biopsy is performed. Protracted conservative management should be instituted prior to the consideration of ablative surgical procedures.
