Overview

[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

OR

[Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

Differentiating Sialolithiasis from other Diseases

  • Sialolithiasis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause swelling in salivary glands, such as acute bacterial sialadenitis, chronic bacterial sialadenitis, viral sialadenitis .
  • [Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
  • As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].

Preferred Table

Diseases Symptoms and sign Laboratory Findings Other Findings
Onset Unilateral/Bilateral Pain Swelling Tenderness Purulent discharge Common site of involvement ESR Leukocytosis Lab Test 3 Lab Test 4
Salivary gland stone Acute Unilateral + + + - Submandibular gland
Acute bacterial sialadenitis Acute Unilateral + + + + Parotid
Chronic bacterial sialadenitis Chronic Unilateral + + - - Parotid
Viral sialadenitis Acute Bilateral + + + - Parotid
Human immunodeficiency virus Acute Bilateral + + - - Parotid
 Radiation sialadenitis Acute Unilateral + + + - Depends on the treatment field
Sarcoidosis Gradual Bilateral - + - - Parotid
Sjögren's syndrome Gradual Bilateral +/- + - - Parotid or submandibular glands
Malnutrition Gradual Bilateral +/- + - - Parotid
Salivary gland tumors Subacute Unilateral - + - - Parotid
