This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with acute, bilateral parotid gland swelling caused by B-cell lymphoma. Enlarged, tender salivary glands are more commonly caused by infection, inflammation, or obstruction from salivary gland stones or tumors. This patient initially was treated for common causes of parotitis; however, her condition did not respond to the standard management and she ultimately was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma.

Background: The expanding number of parotid ablations, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries of the head and neck, considerably increased the risk of the marginal mandibular branch (MMB) injury. The purpose of our study was to determine the anatomical peculiarities of the MMB depending on the facial nerve branching pattern (FNBP), gender and cephalometric type.

First-bite syndrome (FBS) is manifested as acute and severe pain in the parotid region occurring at the first bite of a meal. While most cases of FBS arise after surgeries involving the deep lobe of the parotid gland, chemotherapy-induced FBS is extremely rare. Some adverse effects of oxaliplatin resemble FBS, suggesting it may be under-recognized.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the parotid gland was performed in four cases. The cytology revealed a mild lymphocytic inflammatory response in a red blood cell mixed proteinaceous background.
