Abstract
Sialectasis can occur as a consequence of stone, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, trauma, surgery and radioactive iodine treatment etc. The clinical features and symptoms are various depending on the location and size of the dilated salivary duct. The dilated distal Stensen’s duct may appear as a cheek mass. The idiopathic multiple sialectasis is relative rare and few cases are reported so far. A 83-year-old male who visited our clinic with cheek mass and finally diagnosed as multiple sialectasis in Stensen’s duct. We report an interesting and didactic case with a review of relevant literature. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2021;32:153-157)
