Primary Malignant Parotid Lymphoma: Two Case Reports with Different Disease Progression and Treatment

Abstract


 Objective: To describe our experience in managing two cases of primary malignant parotid
 lymphoma.
 
 Methods:
 Design: Case Report
 Setting: Tertiary University Referral Center
 Patients: Two
 
 Results: Both patients underwent superficial parotidectomy. Despite recurrence in one, the disease was controlled with conservative management. However, the disease was more aggressive in the other, requiring additional chemo-radiotherapy.
 
 Conclusion: Malignant parotid lymphoma may present with varying stages, grades and clinical courses, requiring different management approaches. The treatment options are based on grading and staging at diagnosis and should be implemented depending on individual case.
