The rate of salivary gland atrophy secondary to chronic obstructive sialolithiasis has not been well-documented. The combination of 5 imaging studies over 12 years in a patient with repeat imaging for an unrelated pathology provides a unique opportunity to assess glandular atrophy over time. We hope that this case will support previous literature with an in vivo representation of the rate of glandular atrophy.
继发于慢性阻塞性涎石病的唾液腺萎缩率尚未得到充分记录。一名患者因无关病理进行重复成像，在12年中进行了5次影像学检查，这为评估随时间推移的腺体萎缩提供了独特的机会。我们希望这个病例能通过腺体萎缩率的体内表现来支持先前的文献。
