title: Salivary gland disease in children: a review. Part 1: Acquired non-neoplastic disease.
abstract: The early recognition of salivary gland disease depends upon a high index of suspicion by the clinician. A systematic approach to salivary gland disease in children is presented by a group of algorithms, which is supplemented by a discussion of the historical, physical, and diagnostic test findings characteristic of salivary gland pathology. Therapeutic alternatives are discussed for both neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders.
