An Unusual Cause of Salivary Gland Enlargement

Gary C. Lulenski, MD; Earl F. Singleton, MD; Harold A. Oberman, MD

Arch Otolaryngol. 1974;100(4):319-321.

Abstract
Histiocytosis X may have a variety of clinical manifestations. The otolaryngologist commonly sees patients with this condition because of purulent aural drainage. A patient was referred to the otolaryngology service with enlargement of the submandibular salivary gland. Excision of this unusual site of involvement provided the initial diagnosis of this patient's disease.
