Abstract

Parotid swelling in a child can represent any of a variety of pathologies, including lymphadenitis, autoimmune disorders, other inflammatory conditions, vascular malformations, or neoplasms. Parotitis is usually infectious in etiology and is generally treated with antibiotics and supportive management. We report a case of a child with recurrent idiopathic pneumoparotitis, and a review of literature and the disease process is provided.
