“…The most non-malignant disorder is the obstructive sialadenitis [5] that is caused by calculi, duct stenosis, foreign bodies or anatomic variations of the duct system, resulting in obstruction and stasis [3]. Studies show that recurrent painful periprandal swelling of the gland often results in recurrent bacterial infections [3,22].…”

Purpose: Obstructive diseases of the salivary glands are often based on Sialolithiasis; however, conventional radiological imaging or ultrasound does not provide a diagnosis in 5-10% of all cases. It was the aim of our study to examine the effectiveness and viability of an intraductal applied contrast-enhanced ultrasound (IA-CEUS) to improve the visualization of obstructive diseases of the salivary glands in comparison to conventional ultrasound and clinical symptoms.Materials and methods: The study included fifteen patients with swelling of indeterminate cause and/or pain of one or more salivary glands. A high-end ultrasound machine (Siemens, ACUSON, S 2000, Germany) with a multi-frequency linear 9 MHz transducer was used to carry out contrast-enhanced ultrasound with SonoVue ® .Results: All patients were examined using all diagnostic ultrasound tools of the study. The results show that the procedure is easy and convenient to perform, as well as efficient, but more significantly, that the intraductal contrast agent improved the diagnostic assessment capabilities of ultrasound for patients with obstructive salivary gland diseases, thereby helping to identify the best treatment.Conclusion: In comparison to conventional ultrasound, the use of an intraductal applied contract-enhanced ultrasound not only improved the visualization of the glandular duct system as a whole, but was less time-consuming as well as more reproducible. Thus, IA-CEUS with an intraductal applied contrast agent (IA-CEUS) is a promising tool that provides additional helpful information and an improvement for cases involving patients with unclear symptoms.

“…Because of the morbidity associated with this method, less invasive and gland sparing methods are now preferred [9]. Sialendoscopy has a well-recognized role in removal of mobile parotid calculi but there has been no report of it being used in foreign body retrieval [1]. …”

“…Obstructive sialadenitis may be due to calculi, fibromucinous plugs, duct stenosis, foreign bodies, anatomic variations, or malformations of the duct system leading to a mechanical obstruction associated with stasis [1]. Sialolithiasis accounts for 66% of obstructive salivary disease [2].…”

Unusual Foreign Body of Parotid Gland Presenting as Sialolithiasis: Case Report and Literature Review

This case report highlights an unusual case where a foreign body in the parotid gland was initially thought to be sialolithiasis based on CT scans. The foreign body was safely retrieved from the parotid gland without formal superficial parotidectomy using methylene blue and an image intensifier to localize the lesion. Diagnosis and management of foreign bodies in the parotid gland are reviewed, and surgical options in removal of such lesions are discussed.

“…Whilst radiological balloon dilatation of the salivary ducts is an established method of treatment in adults, with good results reported in a number of articles [10,11], no evidence to the best of our knowledge has been published reporting the application of this technique in treating paediatric sialadenitis. We present our early experience with the technique in treating submandibular duct strictures causing sialadenitis in children.…”
