Difference between Parotitis and Sialolithiasis

Parotitis vs. Sialolithiasis

Parotitis is an inflammation of one or both parotid glands, the major salivary glands located on either side of the face, in humans. 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").

Kidney stone disease

Kidney stone disease, also known as renal calculus disease, nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis, is a crystallopathy where a solid piece of material (renal calculus) develops in the urinary tract.
