Malignant Lymphoma of the Parotid Gland Associated with Sjögren's Syndrome; A Case Report

Abstract

A rare case of malignant lymphoma of the parotid gland associated with Sjögren's syndrome is reported along with a review of the medical literature. A 67-year-old female complained of a mass in her left parotid region and was admitted to our hospital. We failed to precisely diagnose the tumor despite various preoperative examinations. The tumor was removed surgically and histological examination of the resected tumor showed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She was treated with chemotherapy and has had no recurrence for eighteen months after treatment.
