Salivary Stone Disease (Sialolithiasis): Or something else? Differential Diagnosis

Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).

  • Bacterial infections
  • Viral infections

Mouth, esophagus (food pipe), stomach and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).

  • Abscess (encapsulated collection of pus) of the mouth.
  • Allergic reaction
  • Benign (benign) lymphoepithelial lesion of the salivary glands – special form of immunosialadenitis with tumor-like salivary gland enlargement.
  • Mucocele (accumulation of mucus / mucous cyst) of the salivary gland.
  • Necrotizing (“associated with local tissue death (necrosis)”) sialometaplasia.
  • Parotitis, marantic (due to protein deficiency).
  • Phlegmon of the mouth (diffuse spreading infectious disease in soft tissues).
  • Sialadenopathy o. n. A.
  • Sialadenosis (synonym: sialosis) – noninflammatory disease of the glandular parenchyma; largely painless; alternating, bilateral, recurrent swelling, especially of the parotid (parotid gland). Leading symptom: xerostomia (dry mouth).
  • Sialectasia (dilated salivary gland ducts).
  • Sialadenitis (salivary gland inflammation), acute.
  • Sialadenitis of the submandibular gland (submandibular gland) – Küttner tumor.
  • Salivary plug, viscous
  • Salivary gland abscess
  • Salivary gland hypertrophy
  • Salivary gland tumors
  • Stenosis (narrowing) of the salivary gland excretory duct.
  • Stricture (high-grade narrowing) of the salivary gland excretory duct.
  • Disorders of salivary secretion (K11.7)
  • Cysts of the oral region, not elsewhere classified (K09)

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).

  • Masseter hypertrophy (enlargement of the masseter muscle) (M62).

Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).

  • Tumors, periglandular (“around the gland”).

Drugs

  • Hyposialia (decreased salivation) due to salivation-inhibiting drugs.
