| Abstract: | The diagnosis and radiotherapeutic treatment of these HIV-associated benign lympepithelilial lesions in the parotid gland are discussed. As an example of these lesions, a case is presented involving a 43-year-old HIV-infected man with a 2-year history of enlargements in both parotid glands. After evaluation by computer tomography and cytology, the diagnosis of benign lymphoepithelial lesions was made. Treatment by low-dose radiotherapy (15 Gy) caused regression of both lesions. The lesion on the left regressed completely, but the one on the right side responded only partially . A second course of high-dose radiotherapy (24 Gy) to the right lesion caused regression to a cosmetically acceptable size. Received: 20 March 1998 / Accepted: 1 April 1998 |
