Abstract

This study investigates the calcifications in the parotid glands of a patient with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 52-year-old female patient presented for a routine dental examination who found to have multiple radiopacities in both parotid glands on panoramic radiograph. Further evaluation revealed swelling and tenderness in the parotid glands, decayed teeth, and dryness of the mouth and eyes. Ultrasound examination showed enlarged parotid glands with heterogeneous echogenicity, hypoechoic and cystic foci, and multiple calcifications. Laboratory tests indicated positive findings for rheumatoid factor and anti-SSA/SSB antibodies, consistent with a diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome. Treatment primarily focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing clinical manifestations.
