Abstract

Unilateral agenesis of the parotid gland is an extremely rare disorder. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Although this entity is usually asymptomatic, sometimes it may be important. For an example the normal parotid gland can be thought like a tumor due to the facial asymmetry. Accompanied by clinical and radiological findings, we present a case of unilateral parotid gland agenesis without involvement of other major salivary glands and together with a compensatory hypertrophy of the contralateral parotid gland.

Özet

Tek taraflı parotis bezi yokluğu oldukça nadir görülen bir durumdur. Literatürde çok az olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu durum sıklıkla asemptomatik olsa da bazen önemli olabilmektedir. Çünkü karşı taraftaki parotis bezinin normalden daha belirgin olması yüz asimetrisine neden olup, yanlışlıkla tümör ön tanısı düşündürebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda yüz asimetrisi şikayeti ile gelen, klinik ve radyolojik bulgular neticesinde, karşı tarafta parotis bezi hipertrofiye uğramış tek taraflı parotis bezi agenezisi olan ve diğer tükrük bezleri normal olan bir vakayı sunduk.
