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

Year 2021, Volume: 4 Issue: 1, 23 - 26, 31.03.2021

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.

Yaygın oral lezyonları olan bir pemfigus vulgaris hastasında parotit gelişmesi: nadir ya da gözden kaçan bir durum?

Abstract

Parotit, parotis bezinin iltihaplanması olup, sıklıkla bakteriyel ve viral enfeksiyonlar nedeniyle, daha nadir
olarak da parotis kanalının mekanik tıkanması, oral alımın bozulması, Sjögren hastalığı, diğer ağız kuruluğu
nedenleri, sarkoidoz, tüberküloz, ağız içinde ülser gelişimi ve bazı ilaçlar ile gelişebilmektedir. Pemfigus vulgaris
hastalarının ağız içi ülserleri, oral alımlarında bozulma, kullandıkları çoklu ilaçlar ve eşlik edebilecek diğer
otoimmün hastalıklar gibi çeşitli nedenlerle parotit ve diğer tükürük bezi iltihaplanmaları açısından artmış riske
sahip olabilecekleri teorik olarak beklenmesine karşın literatürde bildirilmiş birliktelik az sayıdadır. Burada,
yaygın oral ülserleri olan bir pemfigus vulgaris hastasında parotit gelişimi sunulmakta, parotit ile pemfigus
arasındaki olası ilişki tartışılmaktadır.
