title: Reversible submandibular gland calcifications in a hemodialyzed woman with systemic lupus erythematosus.
abstract: Isolated submandibular gland calcifications were found in a young woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) undergoing intermittent hemodialysis for 2 years. The calcifications appeared to be due to multiple factors including high calcium-phosphorus product and possibly local inflammation due to SLE.
