Abstract
Objective: To assess the informative value of parotid gland (PG) biopsy in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
Subjects and methods. PG biopsy was made in 15 patients (4 males and 11 females) with a presumptive diagnosis of sarcoidosis. The patients were grouped by the presence of PG enlargement.
Results. By taking into account clinicoinstrumental data and found morphological changes, three (20%) and 12 (80%) patients were diagnosed as having multifocal fibrosclerosis and sarcoidosis, respectively. PG biopsy could establish a histologically verified diagnosis in 100% of cases (that of sarcoidosis (50%) and multifocal fibrosclerosis (50%) in the enlarged PG group (n=6)); sarcoidosis was diagnosed in 67% of cases in the non-enlarged PG group (n=9). Epithelioid cell granulomas were detectable in 100 and 50% of the patients with sarcoidosis in its active (n=6) and remission (n=6) phases, respectively. Conclusion. PG biopsy is of high diagnostic value and may be used in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
