Low-dose radiation therapy for benign salivary disorders.

D S Shimm1, F K Berk, T J Tilsner, S W Coulthard.   

Abstract

Two patients, one with a persistent salivary fistula after surgery for a skin tumor overlying the parotid region, and the other with a ranula recurrent after surgery, were treated with low-dose irradiation. Both problems resolved after a total dose of less than 30 Gy, and neither patient experienced xerostomia. In selected patients, low-dose radiation therapy offers a solution to persistent salivary flow refractory to surgical management.
