Management of a parotid sialocele in a young patient: case report and literature review.

Sialocele is a subcutaneous cavity containing saliva, caused by trauma or infection in the parotid gland parenchyma, laceration of the parotid duct or ductal stenosis with subsequent dilatation. It is characterized by an asymptomatic soft and mobile swelling on the parotid region. Imaging studies are useful and help establishing the diagnosis, such as sialography, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This paper describes a recurrent case of a parotid sialocele in a young female patient. She presented a 6 cm x 5 cm swelling on the left parotid region. The ultrasonographic scan of the area revealed a hypoechoic ovoid well defined image suggesting a cyst. A sialography of the left parotid showed a cavitary sialectasia in a panoramic and anteroposterior view. A conservative management was adopted by percutaneous needle aspiration of the swelling, which was useful to provide material for analysis and helped healing. Dentists should be aware of this pathology and the importance in adopting a conservative treatment whenever it is possible.

Determinaçäo dos efeitos das drogas antiinflamatórias näo esteróides (indometacina, butazona, clinoril, naprosin, benflogin e inflaril) nos leucogramas de ratos portadores de processo inflamatório crônico / Assessment of the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (indomethacin, phenylbutazone, sulindac, naproxen, benzydamine and neflumic acid) on rat leucograms with chronic inflammatory process

Neste trabalho procurou-se avaliar os efeitos dos antiinflamatórios näo esteróides: Indometacina (indocid), Butazona (Fenilbutazona), Clinoril (Sulindac), Naprosin (Naproxen), Benflogin (Cloridrato de Benzidamina) e Inflaril (Acido neflúmico) nos leucogramas de ratos portadores de um processo inflamatório crônico provocado pela introduçäo intradérmica de lamínulas de vidro nos períodos de 3, 12 e 18 dias. O sangue para a contagem total dos leucócitos, eletrônica e diferencial, esfregaço, foi obtido por punçäo intracardíaca (Burhoe). A Indometacina, o Clinoril e a Butazona indicaram diminuiçäo de linfócitos e eosinófilos e aumento de monócitos e neutrófilos em todos os períodos e observaçäo em todos os períodos; o Inflaril reduziu o número de linfócitos, neutrofilia e eosinopenia em todos os períodos; o Inflaril reduziu o número de linfócitos e eosinófilos de aumentou os monócitos, com exceçäo de 3§ período, e os neutrófilos nos três períodos; e o Benflogin elevou os linfócitos na 1ª e 3ª fases, e os monócitos nos três períodos, e reduziu os neutrófilos nos dois primeiros, e os eosinfófilos nos dois últimos períodos. Todas as drogas usadas provocaram reduçäo de leucócitos em todos os períodos de tratamento, exceçäo feita ao Naprosin no 3§, ao Benflogin no 2§ e ao Inflaril no 1§ e 2§ períodos
