neck called parotid fascia
• 1) superficial layer : extend from masseter to
sternocleidomastoid muscle to zygoma
• 2) deep layer : from the fascia of posterior belly of
digastric muscle , forming stylomandinular membrane
separating the parotid and submandibular glands .

• II. Local->
• 1. Pain : early , dull aching, later it is severe
Throbbing.
•
• 2. Swelling: elevating the lobule of the ear - red -
warm - edema - tender - fluctuate (late due to
thicker parotid fascia)
•
• 3. Opening of the duct: red, raised, and edematous,
with discharge.

• 4. Trismus: restricted movement of
tempromandibular joint.
25. • :

mandible 1.5 inch below and in front of the angle
of mandible to avoid injury of mandibular branch of

sialadenitis
•Etiology:
•
• I. Chronic calcular sialadenitis

• 2. Stasis : by sepsis, stricture or FB.
•
• II. Chronic non calcular sialadenitis
• 1. Oral hygiene is poor.
• 2. Obstruction of salivary duct by food particles, F.B.
• 3. Imperfect drainage of acute sialoadenitis.
28. I. Chronic calcular sialadenitis
* Site:
Stones lie in the gland or in the duct. Submandibular glands to parotid ratio is 50 to 1
because :
A. Secretions of submandibular are more viscid.
Parotid secretion is watery
Submandibular secretion is mucoid & viscid
B. Its duct opens in floor of mouth -> obstruction by food particles.
C. Drainage of submandibular gland is independed.
*Composition: composed of Calcium, Mg phosphate & carbonate.
Pathology:
29. Complications:
I. Chronic calcular sialoadenitis
c. Malignancy.
II. Chronic non calcular sialoadenitis
a. Recurrent acute attacks.
b. Stone formation.
c. Sialactasis: dilatation of the salivary ducts.
a. Obstruction and infection may lead to abscess & fistula formation.
b. Migration: If small stone.

pain if it is in duct
• May refer to tip of the tongue due to irritation of
Clinical Picture:
31. Signs
(2) gland is enlarged, tender, cannot be rolled over lower border
of mandible (due to capsule of the gland which fix it to the
mandible) with preservation of the sulcus ( ) the gland & body of
the mandible
(3) Bidigital palation: the gland better felt from inside the mouth
(4) The duct itself may be palpated with stone in it.
(5) Opening of duct is seen red, raised, discharging blood or
pus. A stone may be seen peeping from the duct opening.
32. (1) Plain X -Ray. Stones are 100% radio opaque
(3) Neck US.
(2) Sialography.
A radio-opaque material as lipidol is injected in the
canulated duct to delineate it and shows sialactasis
behind stone.
Investigations:
33. Treatment:
(A) Stone in the Duct:
• a. Peeping stone from orifice -> meatotomy
•
• b. Stone in the duct:
• - Under local anesthesia, the duct is underrun by an
anchoring stitch to avoid slippage of stone to the
gland)
• -Slit duct open from orifice to stone.
• -Remove stone, and leave duct opened after
removal of anchoring stitch to allow a better
36. 80% of salivary neoplasms arise in the parotid
gland
80% affecting superficial lobe
80% are benign
80% of benign tumors are pleomorphic adenoma
Rule of 80%
37. Pleomorphic adenoma
(mixed salivary gland tumor)

2)stroma: appears blue resembling that of cartilage
but now it is found that blue material is a mucinous
secretion
3)there are microscopic extensions beyond capsule
of the tumor (satellite nodule with projections) and
this is responsible for high incidence of recurrence
after simple enculation (considered locally malignant
tumor )
