Abstract

A 62-year-old male visited his doctor because of swelling and discomfort at the left parotid area. After 1 week of anti-inflammatory medication without relief of symptoms, he underwent a skull MRI. MRI scan revealed abnormal signal in the left parotid gland and an enlarged parotid lymph node. The patient underwent surgery, with the left parotid removed. Histopathology revealed infiltration of the parotid gland of low-grade follicular lymphoma (FL) (grade I). The enlarged lymph node was also infiltrated.
