title: [Parotid phlegmon with involvement of both lobes. Report of a case].
abstract: The pathologic processes involving the parotid gland include a vast group of lesions, acute and chronic inflammations, benign and malign tumors, traumas or degenerative processes. We report the case of a 55 years old male diagnosed as left parotid phlegmon with involvement of both lobes, especially the deep one, who required admission and endovenous medical treatment for 6 days up to the resolution of the symptoms.
