Abstract
- Multiple calcification in the major salivary glands is very rare. Sjogren's syndrome is characterized by tissue damage due to chronic lymphocyte infiltration of exocrine glands, and the involvement of the major salivary glands is followed by typical symptoms such as multiple formation of sialolith, blockage of salivary duct, and edema of the parenchyme. When multiple calcification is found in the parenchyme of parotid gland on the computed tomography imaging, Sjogren syndrome should be considered, where the primary solution is conservative treatment and preventing recurrent inflammation.
