Diagnosis of Sialodochitis - Can be detected on CT scan or MRI scan as enhancement and dilation of the duct (sialectasis) - Sialography shows segments of duct dilation and stenosis, resembling a sausage link appearance - Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and imaging findings - Biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis - Differential diagnosis includes salivary gland tumors and other inflammatory conditions

Sialodochitis Fibrinosa - Rare condition associated with allergic reactions - Sudden swelling of salivary glands - Linked to other allergic conditions such as asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, and food allergy - Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and exclusion of other causes - Treatment involves managing the underlying allergy and symptomatic relief
