Difference between Parotitis and Salivary gland disease

Parotitis vs. Salivary gland disease

Parotitis is an inflammation of one or both parotid glands, the major salivary glands located on either side of the face, in humans. Salivary gland diseases (SGDs) are multiple and varied in cause.

Arthritis & Rheumatology

Arthritis & Rheumatology is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering the natural history, pathophysiology, treatment, and outcome of the rheumatic diseases.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), formerly known as IgG4-related systemic disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by tissue infiltration with lymphocytes and IgG4-secreting plasma cells, various degrees of fibrosis (scarring) and a usually prompt response to oral steroids.

Salivary gland

The salivary glands in many vertebrates including mammals are exocrine glands that produce saliva through a system of ducts.

Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis (also known as Besnier–Boeck–Schaumann disease) is a disease involving abnormal collections of inflammatory cells that form lumps known as granulomata.

Sialolithiasis

Sialolithiasis (also termed salivary calculi, or salivary stones) is a crystallopathy where a calcified mass or sialolith forms within a salivary gland, usually in the duct of the submandibular gland (also termed "Wharton's duct").

Sjögren syndrome

Sjögren syndrome or Sjögren's syndrome (SjS, SS) is a long-term autoimmune disease that primarily affects the body's exocrine glands, particularly the lacrimal and salivary glands.

Xerostomia

Xerostomia, also known as dry mouth, is a subjective complaint of dryness in the mouth, which may be associated with a change in the composition of saliva, or reduced salivary flow, or have no identifiable cause.
