Parotitis in a pemphigus vulgaris patient with widespread oral lesions: a rare or underdiagnosed condition?

Abstract

Parotitisis the inflammation of the parotid gland and frequently due to bacterial and viral infections, but mechanical obstruction of parotitis ductus, Sjogren’s disease, other xerostomia etiologies, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, oral ulcerations, and drugs can also cause parotitis though less frequently. Pemphigus vulgaris patients may theoretically be at an increased risk for parotitis and other salivary gland inflammations because of various reasons such as oral ulcers, poor oral intake, multiple drug use and other possible accompanying autoimmune diseases, however, such an association is reported rarely in literature. In this study, development of parotitis in a pemphigus vulgaris patient with widespread oral ulcers is presented and a possible association between parotitis and pemphigus is discussed.
