Swelling of the Parotid - A Rare Case Report of Undisclosed Aetiology
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Prominent lymphoid component which occur in various lesions of salivary glands represent heterogeneous group of diseases that include both benign reactive lesions and malignant neoplasms. Occasionally, these lesions cause difficulties in the clinical and pathological diagnosis. To assess their prognosis is also difficult. Human immunodeficiency virus infection associated lymphadenitis of the salivary glands (HIVLSG), benign lymphoepithelial lesion and cysts are described as early events in HIV patients. The diagnosis is not usually made by clinical examination as it mimics a salivary gland tumor. We are presenting a rare pathological finding in the salivary gland of an individual who was diagnosed to have HIV infection. She was clinically diagnosed to have a salivary gland tumor which was cytologically diagnosed to be benign lymphoepithelial lesion
