Resumen
FERNANDEZ-GARCIA, Guillermo y SALOM-COVENAS, Carmen. MALT linfoma of the parotid gland. Case report. Rev. ORL [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.1, pp.81-85. Epub 13-Abr-2023. ISSN 2444-7986. https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/orl.28388.
Introduction and objective:
The parotid gland lymphomas are encountered unfrequently. We present a case report from a MALT lymphoma of the parotid gland, describing its most employed diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Description:
69 year old woman with an asymptomatic tumor in the parotid gland tail, showing a nodular image in CT y MRI and with a negative citology by FAAB. We perform a total parotidectomy discovering a marginal zone MALT lymphoma. We complement the treatment with r-chop chemotherapy regimen during 4 months without recurrence signs after 1 year follow up.
Conclusions:
The salivary gland lymphomas are a rare entity that can be easily misdiagnosed by other common benign mases. We must suspect and don't forget this entity from our differential diagnosis diagram.
