Abstract

Twelve cases of adenolymphoma with inflammation are described. Pre-operatively, three of these patients presented clinical signs of inflammation in the parotid gland. In ten cases purulent exudate could be aspirated from the tumour. Rupture of the cyst may cause an aseptic inflammation in the surrounding tissue. It is concluded that adult patients with clinical or cytological signs of inflammation in the parotid gland must be supervised until the gland is normal in order not to miss an underlying tumour.
