title: [Its not always due to mumps!].
abstract: A painless swelling of the parotid gland with non-specific symptoms and uncharacteristic blood values is not necessarily caused by mumps. On the contrary, this should be examined with targeted imaging, conventional X-rays of the thorax on two levels and for further differential diagnostic clarification, computed tomography of the thorax in order to search for further causes.
