These results strongly suggest that T2D is associated with alterations in GLUT1 expression in the cells of striated ducts with mitochondrial dysfunction, causing a hyperplastic process characterised by multiple oncocytic cysts. For this lesion, the designation of 'diabetes-associated-bilateral multiple oncocytic cysts of the parotid gland' is proposed.
