Abstract
In a consecutive group of 452 patients undergoing parotid surgery at this institution, 18 (4%) were found to have lymphoma. Review and analysis of presenting symptoms, predisposing factors, histopathology, postsurgical morbidity, and long‐term outcome with treatment are presented. The current literature on parotid lymphoma is reviewed, and management strategies are outlined. Although a relatively uncommon primary lesion, lymphoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of any mass presenting in the parotid gland.
