Abstract
The occurrence of Hodgkin's disease of the parotid gland is rare in Japan. We experienced such a rare case who underwent a total parotidectomy and subsequently was diagnosed as having Hodgkin's disease. She thereafter received radiotherapy and has since showed no sign of recurrence. A 70-year-old female presented complaining of an enlarged mass in the right parotid gland for the past10 years. The tumor was thought to be a malignant tumor, and so she underwent a right total parotidectomy. The histopathological findings indicated Hodgkin's disease. After the operation, she received radiotherapy totaling 46. Gy and has since showed a good recovery.
