Polycystic parotid disease: a case report.
A case report of a 14-year-old girl, presumed to have PPD, is presented. Those manifestations of this patient's disease that can be added to the classic picture of PPD include a decreased salivary flow rate and a sialochemistry that reflects a mild chronic parotitis. In addition, cysts and sialoliths were demonstrated grossly rather than microscopically.
