A case of chronic inflammation complicated by Candida infection of the parotid gland in a 50-year-old woman is presented. This eventually proved to be caused by Stensen’s duct obstruction due to an unusual radiolucent foreign body. The process that led to the proper diagnosis is presented and the importance of surgical exploration of the main duct in cases suggesting distal duct obstruction is stressed.

This chapter describes the characteristic histological features of the parotid gland. The microanatomy of the parotid gland includes the following: stroma (connective tissue) and parenchyma (secretory units or acini, myoepithelial cells, and ductal units). The secretory cells are organized into secretory units or acini, which are lined exclusively by serous cells. Myoepithelial cells are the contractile elements with secretory end pieces and intercalated ducts. The acini are drained by a series of ducts which eventually drain into the major excretory duct (Stensen's duct). Aging of salivary glands show some structural changes, but with no overall change in the amount of saliva secreted with advancing age.
