Abstract
Transcutaneous ultrasound (TCUS) is an accepted diagnostic method in salivary gland diseases. However, sparse data are available on the use of transoral ultrasound (TOUS) in sialadenopathies. One hundred five patients presenting with various obstructive sialadenopathies were examined using TOUS and TCUS. Ultrasound findings were validated by direct visualization in subsequent sialendoscopy examinations. By TOUS, but not by TCUS, all patients with sialolithiasis (70/105) could be identified and virtually all concrements, even very small ones, were detected and distinguished from artifacts. Ductal stenoses (16/105) could be correctly differentiated from sialoliths, and exceptional insights into the delicate anatomy of parotid duct stenoses were gained. TOUS provided detailed information on other space-occupying lesions (14/105) and circumvented the method-related diagnostic weaknesses of TCUS. As a valuable tool in the diagnosis of obstructive sialadenopathies, TOUS seems superior to TCUS in pathologies involving the distal parotid duct, the submandibular duct system and the floor of the mouth.

Abstract
Salivary glands (SGs) can be affected by lupus erythematosus (LE). Many authors debate whether this condition is a secondary manifestation of Sjögren syndrome (SS) or a glandular aspect of LE. The present study investigated the histopathological aspects of biopsied minor salivary glands from LE patients to analyze their peculiar features that lead to xerostomia. Twenty-three minor labial salivary gland (MLSG) cases were included in the study; the diagnosis of LE was rendered according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria. Twenty-three healthy MLSGs were used as a control, for comparison. Regarding lupus MLSG, the presence of hyalinization and thickening of ductal basement membrane, perivascular inflammatory infiltrate, epithelial spongiosis with no ductal lymphocytic aggression, vacuolar degeneration of the ductal cells and acinar serous metaplasia were statistically significant compared to the control group. In the LE group, there was a statistically significant correlation between acinar atrophy and acinar fibrosis; acinar atrophy and ductal ectasia; acinar fibrosis and ductal ectasia; ductal atrophy and ductal spongiosis with no lymphocytic focus, interstitial inflammatory infiltrate intensity and vasculitis as well as vascular thrombi and vasculitis. There were no morphological differences between the three subtypes of lupus analyzed. Minor salivary glands from patients diagnosed with LE present peculiar histopathological changes and may be a multisystemic presentation.

Abstract
The management of stenoses of the major salivary glands had undergone a significant change during the last 15-20 years. Accurate diagnosis forms the basis of adapted minimal invasive therapy. Conventional sialography and MR-sialography are useful examination tools, and ultrasound seems to be a first-line investigational tool if salivary duct stenosis is suspected as cause of gland obstruction. Sialendoscopy is the best choice to establish final diagnosis and characterise the stenosis in order to plan accurate treatment. In all major salivary glands, inflammatory stenosis can be distinguished from fibrotic stenosis. In the parotid duct system, an additional stenosis associated with various abnormalities of the duct system has been reported. Conservative therapy is not sufficient in the majority of cases. The development of a minimally invasive treatment regime, in which sialendoscopy plays a major role, has made the preservation of the gland and its function possible in over 90% of cases. Ductal incision procedures are the most important measure in submandibular duct stenoses, but sialendoscopy becomes more important in the more centrally located stenoses. Sialendoscopic controlled opening and dilation is the dominating method in parotid duct stenoses. In 10-15% of cases, success can be achieved after a combined treatment regime had been applied. This review article aims to give an overview on the epidemiology, diagnostics and current state of the art of the treatment of salivary duct stenoses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The pathology of the saliva glands comprises both tumoral and obstructive disorders. The latter include lithiasis, stenosis and megaduct. In this paper, we describe a clinical case of bilateral megaduct, a rare pathology, using sialo-MRI imaging and a conservative diagnostic-cum-therapeutic technique, sialendoscopy with dilation followed by catheterization. CLINICAL CASE Our female patient presented oversized parotids with an unsightly deformation of the face (parotid ducts visible beneath the skin) and itchy cheeks, from which she had suffered for several years. Sialo-MRI revealed bilateral hypertrophied parotid saliva glands. We opted to perform diagnostic sialendoscopy to explore the branches of the salivary gland system and found ducts shaped like strings of sausages associated with mucous plugs. The treatment procedure was combined with rinsing of both parotid ducts in physiological serum followed by initiation of antibiotic-corticotherapy within the saliva ducts and, lastly, by placement of transpapillary drains, which were left in place for 10 days. Immediately following the procedure, the patient felt a considerable improvement regarding both local discomfort and her cheek deformation. Postoperative control at 10 weeks by sialo-MRI confirmed the reduction of the dilation of the salivary ducts. At 3 months, the patient continued to display a marked clinical improvement despite her saliva retaining a thick consistency. She no longer suffered from pruritis or deformation of the cheeks. DISCUSSION Sialendoscopy could become the reference treatment tool since it is both efficient and conservative. Duration of her postoperative catheterization remains to be defined.

Abstract
Congenital dilatation of the Stensen's duct is an extremely rare disease, which may have a hereditary background. However, there are no reports about the familial occurrence of congenital Stensen's duct dilatation. Herein, we present the first case of congenital dilatation of Stensen's duct in siblings. Therefore, we suggest that congenital dilatation of the Stensen's duct is an extremely rare hereditary disorder.

Abstract
Patients with salivary gland disease present with certain objective and/or subjective signs. An accurate diagnosis for these patients requires a range of techniques that includes the organized integration of information derived from their history, clinical examination, imaging, serology, and histopathology. This article highlights the signs and symptoms of the salivary gland disorders seen in the Salivary Gland Center, and emphasizes the methodology used to achieve a definitive diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Sialectasis is an uncommon medical condition of the salivary glands. Conservative treatments of sialectasis include repeated aspiration, compression, dilation of the papilla and stent placement. This is the first reported case that we know of, using marsupialisation for distal sialectasis. Our case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by sialectasis and demonstrates the efficacy of marsupialisation for distally based sialectasis when conservative treatments fail.

Abstract
An 80-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of painless swellings of the left and right cheeks. The degree of swelling did not change with mastication. On palpation, the cheeks were soft, well defined, and movable. Compression and massage of the swollen areas caused increased salivary discharge from the orifices of the Stensen ducts. Three-dimensional computed tomography showed well-bordered, 15- to 20-mm wide, bilateral, tube-like dilatations of the ducts. The ductal origin of the swellings was explained to the patient, but she refused invasive procedures, thus no sialogram or surgical procedure was performed. We describe the clinical and radiographic features of a case of bilateral, congenital Stensen duct dilatation with bilateral swelling of the cheeks.
