  • He later developed several parotid abscesses, leading to the decision to perform a superficial parotidectomy for treatment.
  • This case is notable as it represents only the second documented instance of intraparenchymal parotid stones in a pediatric patient.

Article Abstract

We describe an unusual case of bilateral intraparenchymal parotid stones with unilateral parotitis in a 17-year-old boy. The patient went on to develop multiple parotid abscesses, which we treated with a superficial parotidectomy. To our knowledge, this is only the second report of intraparenchymal parotid stones in a pediatric patient.

Objectives: To analyse intraobserver and interobserver reliability of colour Doppler (CD) ultrasonography of the major salivary glands (SGUS) in patients clinically suspected of Sjögren's disease (SjD).

Methods: One hundred consecutive outpatients visiting the University Medical Center Groningen for a diagnostic trajectory because of a suspicion of SjD were evaluated using CD ultrasonography of the submandibular and parotid salivary glands. All images were independently assessed by four observers (two experienced observers, one lesser experienced resident, one inexperienced trainee) in two sessions using the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) CD scoring system (scale 0-3).

Background: Warthin's tumor (WT) is composed of several cysts that are lined with tall, bilayered oncocytic columnar cells and lymphoid stroma. Within WT, the two components rarely transform into carcinoma or lymphoma, and when it does, carcinoma is the most common type. Approximately 28 cases of lymphoma with WT have been reported, most of which were non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and only a few cases were Hodgkin lymphomas.
