唾液腺疾患のいろいろ（その4）—耳下腺結核

　緒言

　耳下腺結核は，1893年初めてDe Paoliによつて記載され，以後1954年迄の世界の文献中に50例を見るに過ぎない（Biaggini）という。本邦では，われわれの渉獵した文献では10例の報告例がある。

　われわれは，最近数年間にその2例，内1例は非常に稀有なるStenon氏管（以下ス氏管）の結核を有していたのではないかと思われる症例を経験したので報告する。

Two cases of suppurative involvement of the salivary gland are reported. In one case a man, aged 43, presented swelling and signs of suppuration of the right cheek which was found to be the result of tubercular involve-ment of Stenson's duct. The patient wasaffected with a long standing tubercular infe-ctions of the lungs : tubercular changes were noted also in the lymph glands of the salivary gland. In the second case a man, aged 31, had a tuberculous foci in the right middle ear that caused repeated attacks otitis media: he finally developed an abcess of the salivary gland.

Recovery in both cases were attained by use of surgical intervention and drug therapy.
