Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, Department of Otolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio The early recognition of salivary gland disease depends upon a high index of suspicion by the clinician. A systematic approach to salivary gland disease in children is presented by a group of algorithms, which is supplemented by a discussion of the historical, physical, and diagnostic test findings characteristic of salivary gland pathology. Therapeutic alternatives are discussed for both neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders.
