“…[5,6] In this study, it was noted that 23 case reports specifically referenced the presence of food-related exacerbations; 4 case reports established that the symptoms were not food related; and 14 case reports made no mention of food-related symptoms. It is, therefore, deduced that food allergies should be sought out in a majority of patients.…”

Background:Sialodochitis fibrinosa is a rare disease which is characterized by recurring episodes of pain and swelling of the salivary glands due to the formation of mucofibrinous plugs. Analytic studies ascertain elevated levels of eosinophils and immunoglobulin E (IgE). Imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sialography reveal dilation of the main salivary duct (duct ectasia). Treatment is initially supportive, consisting of compressive massages, and use of antihistamines and/or corticosteroids.Material and methods:In the following, 3 cases of sialodochitis fibrinosa are presented which were diagnosed in a third level hospital during the period of 2008 and 2016, as well as a literature review of all cases reported to our knowledge.Results:Of the 41 cases found, including the 3 of this article, 66% were women with an average age of 45 years old. However, 75% of reported cases were of Japanese heritage. Involvement of the parotid glands was more frequent than the submandibular glands. In more than half of all cases treatment with compressive massages, antihistamines and/or corticosteroids was effective.Conclusion:Clinicians should consider sialodochitis fibrinosa as a diagnostic possibility when presented with cases of recurring parotid and submandibular gland tumescence.

“…The tendency to develop bilateral swellings, often simultaneously, the changing sex ratio with increasing age accompanied by change in the sialographic appearances from dilated terminal ducts or acini in youth to dilatation of the main ducts in older people, all offer a tempting bait for speculation. There has been no lack of suggested aetiological factors, including infection (Payne, Rose, Jones), allergy (Pearson, 1935(Pearson, , 1936Serafini, 1951;Waldbott and Shea, 1947;Findeisen, 1956;Riley, 1956), dental trauma (Rose, 1954), dehydration, diabetes (Lyon, 1943), improper mastication (Payne, 1940), heredity (Smith, 1953), auto-immune disease (Mosbech, Kristensen, 1960), and sialorrhoea (Reimann and Lindquist, 1952). Parotid calculi are recognized but generally considered rare.…”

Eosinophilic sialodochitis: redefinition of ‘allergic parotitis’ and ‘sialodochitis fibrinosa’

Sialodochitis fibrinosa and allergic parotitis have described rare patients with recurrent salivary gland swelling and mucus plugs, often with atopy. We have evaluated three patients with atopic disease, recurrent salivary gland swelling and an eosinophilic sialodochitis. Two had eosinophil-rich mucus plugs. 56 additional cases were identified in a medical literature database search, each defined by recurrent salivary gland swelling associated with eosinophil-rich mucus plugs or sialodochitis with periductal eosinophilic infiltration. The majority (78%) were reported from Japan. Females were predominantly affected (F:M=2.3) with a median age of 47 years at evaluation. The parotid and submandibular glands were involved, respectively, in 71% and 46%. Allergic symptoms were present in 66%, atopic disease in 63% of those with reported allergy testing, and blood eosinophilia in 71%. Contrast sialography and other imaging modalities documented ductal dilatation in 82%. Treatments included anti-allergic medications (58%), systemic glucocorticoids (25%), duct cannulation with irrigation, steroid injection, and/or duct dilatation (36%), and glandular resection (19%). We recommend the diagnosis “eosinophilic sialodochitis” be applied to patients who meet this case definition. The disease is a unique cause of chronic recurrent salivary gland swelling. Its likely allergic etiology may be amenable to current or future biologic therapies.
