Recurrent parotid abscess formation 8 years after an episode of cancrum oris.
Recurrent parotid abscess formation as a consequence of isolated right parotid duct osteal stenosis was a very unusual sequela of successfully treated early cancrum oris. Interestingly, it manifested after an uneventful interval of 8 years and required a near-total conservative parotidectomy for cure.
