Sialosis, Gout Induced or Idiopathic? Case Report
1Research Assistant, Salivary Gland Center; Fourth-Year Student, College of Dental Medicine, Salivary Gland Center, Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, New York, NY.
Abstract:
Sialosis is observed in relation to diabetes, alcoholism, and malnutrition. An assumed relation between gout and sialosis is probably based on confusion that originated from the therapeutic use of phenylbutazone for gout and the sialadenitis that the medication caused. This report describes a case of sialosis in a patient with a longstanding history of gout that was idiopathic in origin.
