In addition to acute infections such as mumper epidemic parotitis there is occasionally seen a condition known M surgical mumps. This consists essentially of cn ahscexs of the parotid gland and It follows some surgical condition, such as appendicitis. Moreover, these salivary glands may also be subject to chronic or Jogg-continued Infection. Tumors may develop in the glands, them selves, or around them. Stones may form in the parotid glands.

blocked. When a chronic disturbance es the parotid glands occurs whioh produces pain and swelling, before treatment is carried out. it is important to determine Just what disorder is present. According to Dr, Theodore E. Beyer of Denver, one method which Is helpful In making a diagnosis is a procedure called . lalography. This consists of injecting into the duct of the gland a substance called liplodol and then taking an X ray of the gland. In this X-ray will be seen the outline of the ducts in the gland and the gland itself This procedure is easily cario d out and tkere are no dangers In it.
When such X-rays are taken it will help to show the size and position of a stone if one is present, Chronic Inflammation of the gland also can be diagnosed. It is also possible to tell a tumor in the gland itself from one which may be located around the gland, it also will help to tel! the-difference be tween a tumor which is not dangerous and one that is malignant or cancerous. If it is found that a malignant tumor is present, an Immediate operation should lie carried out and the tumor Such maJlgnant tumors grow rapidly and produce pain.
