Salivary glands - a new site of Helicobacter pylori occurrence
Our findings of Hp positivity in concrements provide compelling evidence of Hp presence in the ductal system of salivary glands. Confirmation of Hp presence in tumor tissue suggests its potential ability to infiltrate the gland's parenchyma. Further research is needed to confirm Hp's ability to cause local infection, as well as the possible causal association between Hp presence in the studied region, sialolithiasis, and salivary gland tumors.
