ABSTRACT
Sialadenosis, characterized by a uniform hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the acinar parenchyma of salivary glands, is associated with a variety of systemic diseases or functional disorders. The disease is associated with underlying systemic factors such as diabetes, malnutrition, alcohol abuse and drugs. So it is also referred to as nutritional mumps. Bulimia nervosa is a disorder that is defined as binge eating combined with inappropriate ways of stopping weight gain. It is significantly more common in females than in males. In the past few years, the number of reports concerning eating disorders have increased in developing countries including Korea, where economic development has also brought about rapid introduction of the Western culture. The authors have observed a rare case of sialadenosis of the submandibular gland in association with bulimia nervosa and report this with literature review.
