Sialoadenitis ICD-9-CM 527.2 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 527.2 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
Sialadenitis can be further classed as acute or chronic. Acute sialadenitis is an acute inflammation of a salivary gland which may present itself as a red, painful swelling that is tender to touch.
Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is characterised by presence of three major criteria of dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, storiform pattern of fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis. Minor criteria include phlebitis without obliteration of the lumen and increased numbers of eosinophils.
In autoimmune sialadenitis, activation of T and B cells that infiltrate the interstitium occurs due to a response to an unidentified antigen present in the salivary gland parenchyma. This response then results in acini destruction and the formation of epimyoepithelial islands.
A salivary gland infection is also called sialadenitis and is caused by bacteria or viruses. A salivary stone or other blockage of the salivary gland duct can contribute to an acute infection. Chronic inflammation of a salivary gland can cause it to stop functioning.
K11. 20 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Sialadenitis is an infection of the salivary glands. It is usually caused by a virus or bacteria. The parotid (in front of the ear) and submandibular (under the chin) glands are most commonly affected. Sialadenitis may be associated with pain, tenderness, redness, and gradual, localized swelling of the affected area.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K11. 21 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K11.
K11.5ICD-10 code K11. 5 for Sialolithiasis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Classically, HIV parotitis is either asymptomatic or a non-painful swelling, which is not characteristic of sialadenitis. Some common bacterial causes are S. aureus, S. pyogenes, viridans streptococci and H.
Submandibular sialadenitis is inflammation of the submandibular gland, which is caused by salivary stasis that leads to retrograde seeding of bacteria from the oral cavity. Sialadenosis is a benign,non-inflammatory swelling of salivary glands usually associated with metabolic conditions.

Treatment for sialadenitis includes good oral hygiene, increasing fluid intake, massaging over the affected gland, applying a warm compress, and using candies or foods which increase saliva (such as lemon drops). In some cases, if the cause is bacterial, antibiotics may be prescribed.
The parotid glands are two salivary glands that sit just in front of the ears on each side of the face. Salivary glands produce saliva to aid in chewing and digesting food. There are many salivary glands in the lips, cheeks, mouth and throat.
The submandibular gland is the second largest of the three main salivary glands, which also include the parotid and sublingual glands. The submandibular glands are paired major salivary glands that lie in the submandibular triangle. The glands have a superficial and deep lobe separated by the mylohyoid muscle [1].
Acute parotitis is recent swelling of one or both of the salivary glands. There are a number of causes, including viruses and bacteria. Acute viral parotitis is not a common symptom of influenza virus infection and is much more commonly seen following infection with the mumps virus.
Some of the common symptoms of Sialadenitis include: Facial pain, with pain originating in the entire angle of the jaw or underneath the jaw. The symptoms of this condition may vary depending on the intensity of an infection. Most individuals suffer from a little pain while opening their mouths.
Chronic Sialadenitis often results from obstruction of the salivary glands caused by. Salivary stones. Hard deposits of minerals like calcium. In rare cases, a person can experience this condition as a side effect of reaction of immune system to medicines administered for the treatment of other glandular conditions.
Sialadenitis Diagnosis. Sialadenitis Treatment. Sialadenitis Management. It refers to a condition marked by inflammation of the salivary glands, or the glands that produce saliva in the mouth. The disease is also known as Sia loadenitis.
An infection of the salivary gland is usually diagnosed by a dentist or general physician. Healthcare providers generally diagnose the condition by touching the face of the patients, asking them about the symptoms as well as testing blood and saliva to detect bacterial presence.
Postirradiation Sialadenitis. It is a common complication of radiotherapy. It involves infection in highly damaged salivary glands which is often irreversible but causes less damage. The function of salivary gland may return to some degree after several months.
They require follow-up visits to make sure that the condition has resolved. With practice of good hygiene and regular trips to a dentist, most sufferers do not experience recurrence of the condition .
The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
041.9 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of bacterial infection, unspecified, in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Initial stage of acute bacterial sialadenitis involves the accumulation of bacteria, neutrophils and inspissated fluid in lumen of ductal structures. Damage to ductal epithelium results in sialodochitis (periductal inflammation), accumulation of neutrophils in glandular stroma, followed by acini necrosis with microabscesses formation. Recurrent episodes results in chronic stage, which involves the establishment of periductal lymph follicles and further destruction of salivary acini.
According to the British Medical Journal ( The BMJ) Best Practice on Sialadenitis, there are multiple factors to consider during the diagnosis of sialadenitis, including history, presenting signs and symptoms, followed by appropriate investigations in relation to the presenting case.
Infection. The most common salivary gland infection is mumps. It is characterised by bilateral swelling of the parotid glands, however other major salivary glands may also be affected in around 10% of cases. The swelling persists for about a week, along with low grade fever and general malaise.
Diagnostic tests. Tests available as part of diagnosing sialadenitis include: Culture and sensitivity testing of exudate from salivary duct. Culturing of purulent discharge is advisable in acute presentations of sialadenitis to allow targeted antibiotic therapy.
Generally, in acute bacterial and viral sialadenitis cases, the lobular architecture of the gland is maintained or may be slightly expanded. Areas of liquefaction, indicating presence of abscess, may also be seen microscopically.
Formation of stones in glandular ducts ( sialoliths) can result in the development of obstructive sialadenitis. There may be a history of abrupt episodic swelling of the parotid or submandibular gland which is usually painful. These episodes typically occur around meal times, lasting 2 – 3 hours and gradually subsides.
Sialadenitis can be caused by cancer, autoimmune conditions, viral and bacterial infections, idiopathic causes or stones formed mainly from calculus. It was thought that morphological characteristics of the salivary ducts could also be a contributing factor, as stagnation of saliva due to these could perhaps cause an increased incidence of sialadenitis. However, one study found no statistically significant difference between the length of ducts or the angles they incorporate within them and the likelihood of developing sialadenitis, although this study only had a small sample size of 106. The study also confirmed that age, gender, side of face and degree of sialadenitis had no impact on the length of the ducts or the angles formed within the ducts.
Acute bacterial sialadenitis is characterised by rapid onset of pain and swelling. In contrast, chronic sialadenitis is characterised by intermittent, recurrent episodes of tender swelling.
Sialadenitis is the inflammation and enlargement of one or several major salivary glands. It most commonly affects parotid and submandibular glands. Bacterial infection can supervene if salivary flow is diminished by illness or medication, or is obstructed by a sialolith (salivary stone). Most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
Definition. Sialadenitis denotes inflammation and swelling of the parotid, submandibular, sublingual, or minor salivary glands. Aetiology includes bacterial or viral infection, obstruction, or autoimmune causes. Acute bacterial sialadenitis is characterised by rapid onset of pain and swelling.
