Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Parotid glands are uncommonly involved in leukemia. Moreover, parotid gland relapse is an extremely rare event. We report a young adult male with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented with bilateral parotid glands involvement and facial palsy as first presenting sign of relapse. Unfortunately in spite of aggressive treatment the outcome was dismal.
