Granulomatous lesions of the salivary gland are rare; as such, there have been few reports of the cytologic features of granulomatous sialadenitis in general, and salivary gland sarcoidosis in particular. A case of systemic sarcoidosis involving both parotid glands, diagnosed initially by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology, is presented. The specific cytologic features included histiocytes of both epithelioid and giant multinucleated types, without background necrosis. The FNA cytologic differential diagnosis of bilateral parotitis is discussed.
唾液腺的肉芽肿性病变较为罕见；因此，关于肉芽肿性涎腺炎，尤其是唾液腺结节病的细胞学特征的报道很少。本文介绍了一例通过细针穿刺（FNA）细胞学最初诊断的累及双侧腮腺的系统性结节病病例。具体的细胞学特征包括上皮样和巨大多核型组织细胞，无背景坏死。本文还讨论了双侧腮腺炎的FNA细胞学鉴别诊断。
