[Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the parotid gland: 2 cases]

We report two cases of bilateral parotid swelling at initial clinical assessment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The swelling was not associated with other symptoms. They both were stage IV and were treated by chemotherapy. We have reviewed the literature about first manifestations of the disease, clinical diagnosis and incidence. The importance of early biopsy of such lesions is emphasised.
