[Parotid calcinosis of the pseudo-tumoral type (author's transl)]

An atypical feature of a further case of salivary calcinosis reported was its exclusively unilateral parotid site. The clinical appearance was that of a pseudo-tumor following a long period of a spontaneously regressive unilateral parotid swelling. The co-existence of a Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome was confirmed clinically by the presence of a xerostomia, and radiologically by suggestive signs after a parotid sialogram. Immunological features were atypical in nature.
