Salivary tumors can manifest as abnormalities of the gland itself and/or changes in salivary flow. However, effects of salivary tumors on saliva secretion have not been studied in much detail. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of benign parotid tumors on unstimulated saliva secretion from the affected gland.
Unstimulated parotid saliva was collected bilaterally using the swab method in patients with unilateral pleomorphic adenoma (n=14) or Warthin's tumor (n=6). Pre-weighted cotton rolls were placed at the opening of each parotid duct for 15min.
The range of salivary flow was similar to that found in studies on unstimulated parotid saliva. Salivary flow did not differ between the involved and non-involved side. No difference was found between the involved and non-involved side when the patients with pleomorphic adenoma or Warthin's tumor were separately analyzed.
The present results suggest that the most common benign parotid tumors do not alter unstimulated salivary flow from the affected gland.
涎腺肿瘤可表现为腺体本身的异常和/或唾液分泌的改变。然而，涎腺肿瘤对唾液分泌的影响尚未得到详细研究。本研究的目的是评估腮腺良性肿瘤对患侧腺体非刺激性唾液分泌的影响。
采用棉签法，对单侧多形性腺瘤患者（n = 14）或沃辛瘤患者（n = 6）双侧采集非刺激性腮腺唾液。将预先称重的棉卷置于各腮腺导管开口处15分钟。
唾液流量范围与非刺激性腮腺唾液研究中发现的范围相似。患侧与未患侧的唾液流量无差异。分别分析多形性腺瘤或沃辛瘤患者时，患侧与未患侧之间未发现差异。
目前的结果表明，最常见的腮腺良性肿瘤不会改变患侧腺体的非刺激性唾液流量。
