Objectives: To establish an inflammation grading system for radioactive iodine-induced sialadenitis (RAIS) based on spiral computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography and sialography.
Methods: In all, 120 RAIS patients (18 males and 102 females) were retrospectively included. Spiral CT, ultrasonography and sialography appearances were analysed and categorized as follows: grade I, approximately normal or mild sialadenitis; grade II, moderate sialadenitis; and grade III, severe sialadenitis. Adenitis severity was analysed relative to sex, age, RAI treatment sessions and cumulative doses.
Results: Spiral CT showed heterogeneous (78.9%) and atrophic changes (36.8%) in the parotid glands (PGs) and duct ectasia (24.8%) in the submandibular glands (SMGs). Ultrasonography showed heterogeneous echogenicity (54.3%) and diminished gland size (30.2%) in PGs and duct ectasia in SMGs (34.7%). Sialography showed duct obliteration in 25.3% PGs and 3.2% SMGs. Statistical analysis showed good consistency among the three imaging grading results. The incidence and severity of PG lesions were significantly higher than that of SMGs (p < 0.001). As for PGs, adenitis severity was associated with both treatment sessions and cumulative doses; but in SMGs, disease severity was only related to treatment sessions.
Conclusions: A grading system for severity of RAIS was established based on spiral CT, ultrasonography and sialography appearances.

Objective: Radioiodine therapy, commonly used post-thyroidectomy to eliminate residual affected tissue in thyroid cancer patients, can lead to the development of radioiodine induced sialadenitis (RIS). Chronic idiopathic sialadenitis (CIS) is characterized by intermittent and often painful swelling of the salivary glands, not attributed to salivary duct stones. Sialendoscopy is used to treat sialadenitis when conservative management fails.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the endoscopic characteristics of radioactive iodine-induced sialadenitis (RAIS), and to evaluate the treatment outcomes of endoscopic intervention for RAIS.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: Eighty-two consecutive patients (11 males and 71 females) diagnosed as RAIS from Nov.

Background: To assess the correlation/association between ultrasound and sialendoscopy findings in radioactive iodine therapy-induced sialadenitis (RAIS).
Methods: Patients presenting with RAIS were investigated with ultrasound and sialendoscopy. Four pathologic ultrasound parameters and seven pathologic sialendoscopy parameters were retrospectively assessed.

Therapy-related leukemia is an increasing concern in hematology. One of these substances that showed to increase the incidence of leukemia is radioactive iodine (RAI). We report here a case of radioactive iodine-induced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in a patient with Graves' disease, although most cases in the literature were for thyroid cancer.
