[Differential diagnosis of salivary gland swellings (excluding neoplasms)--the ORL view (author's transl)].
Important investigatory methods for the diagnosis of non-neoplastic salivary gland disease are discussed. The difficulties found with these different methods are emphasized, and biopsy is recommended as the most reliable means for diagnosis. Some salivary gland disorders are caused by hypotensive drugs.
