Parotid gland enlargement is common in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Although parotitis is the usual histopathological feature in such cases, patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are at high risk of developing both lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma of the parotid gland. Human immunodeficiency virus, however, is not detected within the parotid parenchyma even in the presence of Kaposi's sarcoma. The pathway of the virus' entry into the saliva remains unknown.
腮腺肿大在感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的患者中很常见。虽然腮腺炎是此类病例常见的组织病理学特征，但获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者患腮腺淋巴瘤和卡波西肉瘤的风险很高。然而，即使存在卡波西肉瘤，在腮腺实质内也检测不到人类免疫缺陷病毒。病毒进入唾液的途径仍然未知。
