title: [Sarcoidosis of oculo-parotid onset. Differential diagnostic considerations].
abstract: Two cases of sarcoidosis, presenting with parotid gland enlargement and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, are here described. The difficulty encountered in making correct diagnosis is then stressed. The diagnostic value of invasive and non invasive techniques in the study of parotid gland pathology and function in sarcoidosis is then reviewed.
