Abstract
We described a young man with almost total absence of the parotid glands, hypoplasia of both lacrimal glands, marked hypofunction of both submandibular glands, and left nasolacrimal duct atresia. Lack of tearing, severe dental caries, and conjunctival scarring following chronic xerophthalmia and conjunctivitis serve to alert pediatricians to this autosomal dominant disorder with considerable variation in expressivity.Keywords
