Abstract
This study, based on a group of seventy-three cases, deals with the clinical features, histology, and histogenesis of Mikulicz's disease. The findings were as follows: 1. 1. Mikulicz's disease usually involves a single major salivary gland, but bilateral or multiple lesions may occur. 2. 2. The parotid gland is the most frequent site. 3. 3. The disease is more common in the male than in the female. 4. 4. Mikulicz's disease occurs in a younger age group than had been believed previously. 5. 5. The lesion is not neoplastic but represents a benign reactive hyperplasia of intraglandular lymph nodes. 6. 6. Unless other circumstances require it, Mikulicz's disease should not be treated by resection of the gland or by radiation.
