Abstract

Most cases with recurrent parotitis in childhood (RPC) can be cured before puberty. 1–3 A few of them, however, may continue to adulthood. 1–4 To distinguish this condition from other types of chronic parotitis in adults, such as chronic obstructive parotitis, 5 we suggest that the diagnosis of recurrent parotitis in adults (RPA) be reserved for the cases derived from RPC. 6 The pathophysiology and development of RPA is still not well known. To our knowledge, there are few reports of RPA in the literature, especially concerning its histopathology. This report describes a cases of RPA studied with sialography and light and electron microscopy.
