[Adenolymphoma of the parotid gland].
Three personal cases of adenolymphoma of the parotid are described and attention is drawn to the rarity and benign nature of this form. Its anatomical and pathological features are discussed, along with the various theories concerning its histogenesis. Of these, the salivary theory is the most widely accepted. Lastly, an account is given of the symptoms (primarily consisting of cosmetic damage), differential diagnosis, and treatment (simple enucleation). The long-term prognosis is always good. Recurrences (also benign) are very rare.
