We report a case of unilateral polycystic disease of the parotid gland. Only eight cases of this disease have previously been published in the English language literature, and seven of them were bilateral. Thus, we are reporting the second case of unilateral involvement. The disease is apparently limited to the parotid gland and to women. Clinically, a fluctuating, long-standing, nontender parotid gland swelling is usually noticed in adulthood. Histologically, there are numerous epithelial-lined cysts, which appear to be derived from intercalated ducts. This disease probably represents a developmental condition.
我们报告一例腮腺单侧多囊性疾病。此前英文文献中仅发表过8例该疾病，其中7例为双侧病变。因此，我们报告的是单侧受累的第二例病例。该疾病显然仅限于腮腺且仅见于女性。临床上，成年期通常会注意到腮腺出现波动性、长期存在且无压痛的肿胀。组织学上，有许多内衬上皮的囊肿，似乎源自闰管。这种疾病可能代表一种发育状况。
