Abstract

We describe a previously healthy 24-year-old male waiter who presented with very severe xerostomia, such that he consumed an average of 7 pints of milk a day and seriously considered suicide. There were no other symptoms or signs of exocrine gland dysfunction. We discuss the differential diagnosis, investigation, and his subsequent complete response to therapy, with a review of the literature.
