This study aimed to determine the role that ultrasound might play in evaluating parotid swellings in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 disease.
The parotid glands of 13 HIV-positive patients, who were previously diagnosed as seropositive and who were referred because they had unilateral or bilateral parotid gland swellings, were examined sonographically.
All patients showed multiple and varied parotid sonolucent areas bilaterally. These patterns reflected the presence of lymphoepithelial cysts, intraparotid lymphadenopathies, and parenchymal lymphoproliferation.
Because parotid swellings can represent early clinical evidence of HIV disease, comprehensive gland evaluation is mandatory. Ultrasound offers a simple, rapid imaging technique to ascertain the nature of the glandular pathology.
本研究旨在确定超声在评估人类免疫缺陷病毒1型（HIV-1）疾病患者腮腺肿大中可能发挥的作用。
对13例HIV阳性患者的腮腺进行超声检查，这些患者先前已被诊断为血清学阳性，因单侧或双侧腮腺肿大前来就诊。
所有患者双侧腮腺均显示多个且多样的无回声区。这些表现反映了淋巴上皮囊肿、腮腺内淋巴结病和实质淋巴组织增生的存在。
由于腮腺肿大可能是HIV疾病的早期临床证据，因此必须对腺体进行全面评估。超声提供了一种简单、快速的成像技术来确定腺体病变的性质。
