[Sequential quantitative scintigraphy of parotid glands with chronic inflammatory diseases].
Sequential quantitative scintigraphy of parotid glands was performed in 16 cases with recurrent parotitis in childhood, 33 with chronic obstructive parotitis, 37 with Sjögren's syndrome, 4 with sialadenosis and 30 normal controls. Uptake function was normal, but excretion was retarded in recurrent parotitis in childhood. Chronic obstructive parotitis exhibited that excretion was obstructed and the uptake and excretion function between bilateral parotids was marked different. In Sjögren's syndrome, uptake was very low and excretion was heavily delayed. Sialadenosis showed that excretion was retarded and uptake function was not definitely involved. The possible mechanism of the scintigraphical features were analyzed combined with the histopathological findings.
