Abstract
Parotid swellings have been noted in approximately 5% to 10% of patients with HIV-1. These swellings are a result of lymphoproliferative activity or lymphoepithelial cyst formation in response to a viral parotid presence. Two patients with cosmetic concerns regarding parotid swellings are presented before and after antiviral therapy. Regression of the swellings after treatment is substantiated with clinical photographs and computerized tomographic scans. The successful outcome was a reflection of a diminution in viral load and some degree of immune restoration.Entities:
