Madelungâs disease is sometimes misdiagnosed as sialadenitis, an inflammation of the salivary glands. The inflammation may involve any of the glands that make up the salivary gland system (parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands).
However, use of ultrasonographic imaging should never preclude adequate resuscitation or definitive surgical therapy in a patient who is hemodynamically unstable and in whom ectopic pregnancy is strongly suspected. The goal of bedside ultrasonography is to diagnose an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP). Ectopic pregnancy can be reliably excluded in patients with a demonstrated IUP; heterotopic pregnancy remains very rare in patients who are not taking fertility agents.
Molar pregnancy. Molar pregnancy is an abnormal form of pregnancy in which a non-viable fertilized egg implants in the uterus and will fail to come to term. A molar pregnancy is a gestational trophoblastic disease which grows into a mass in the uterus that has swollen chorionic villi. These villi grow in clusters that resemble grapes.
