title: [Sialographic and computed tomographic studies in pathology of the major salivary glands].
abstract: A retrospective study is reported which took place over 3 years (1986-1989) and included 99 patients (57 men and 33 women, age range 8-90 years) with lesions attributable to salivary gland diseases. Patients were examined using CAT and sialographic tests. From an analysis of the results it is clear that sialography retains its importance as a means of diagnosis in inflammatory diseases, calculosis and autoimmune disorders, whereas CAT should be used as the preferential diagnostic test for neoplastic lesions.
