Abstract :

 Mikulicz’s disease is a rare, bilateral, symmetrical, painless, idiopathic, swelling of lacrimal and major salivary glands. It was considered as a subtype of Sjogren’s syndrome previously but latest reports show evidence of differences between the two. Mikulicz’s disease is considered as idiopathic whereas Mikulicz’s syndrome is found to be associated with TB, sarcoidosis, lymphoma or leukemia. We report a case of Mikulicz’s disease in a 34 year old female with bilateral enlargement of lacrimal and parotid glands. There was no associated systemic conditions and a good response to corticosteroids was observed.
