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.
