Abstract:
A case was experienced involving submandibular salivary gland swelling (sialoadenopathy), developing after gastroscopy in a 15-year-old female who was suffering from epigastric pain & diarrhea and a case of parotid salivary gland swelling after gastroscopy in a 25-year-old female who was suffering from dyspepsia and epigastric pain. Both patients were the first two cases among about 5,000 gastroscopic examinations of the stomach conducted by the authors. As soon as the gastroscope was withdrawn, unilateral swelling, which was neither painful nor tender, was found in the left submandibular salivary gland area. This swelling disappeared spontaneously in about few hours later.
