Introduction
- Painful conditions in the mouth lead to increase in salivary secretion and possibly also to failure to swallow the saliva produced,
- e.g. in foot and mouth disease in cattle there is an acute painful stomatitis and this is accompanied by the hypersalivation and partial anorexia.
Functional Anatomy
See anatomy and physiology of the salivary glands
Defence Mechanisms
Developmental Pathology
Erosive & Ulcerative Pathology
Vesicular Pathology
Neutrophilic Inflammation
Granulomatous and pyogranulomatous Inflammation
Eosinophilic Inflammation
Necrotizing Inflammation
Lymphocytic and plasmacytic Inflammation
Sjorgren’s-like syndrome
- Xerophthalmia and xerostomia due to lymphocyte-mediated destruction of exocrine glands of salivary glands.
- Both those terms refer to cessation of production of tear or saliva production respectively.
- May be primary autoimmune or part of another autoimmune condition.
- Causes of xerostomia:
- Dysautonomia
- Infectious sialadenitis
- Neoplasia
- Salivary amyloidosis
- Head and neck radiation
- Drugs
- AutoI disease.
Tagging-PG
Proliferative Pathology
Hyperplastic
Sialadenosis
- Bilateral, uniform, painless, non-inflammatory enlargement of the salivary glands
- C/s of retching/gulping
- No significant histological abnormalities in the salivary gland biopsies.
