    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Virology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Mumps is a viral infection typically causing parotitis.
    • Complications of mumps can affect various organ systems.
    • Presternal swelling is an uncommon manifestation.

    Observation:

    • A case of presternal swelling in a patient with mumps is described.
    • The swelling is attributed to compromised lymphatic drainage.
    • Enlarged cervical salivary glands are implicated as the cause of obstruction.

    Findings:

    • Presternal swelling resulted from lymphatic obstruction.
    • Obstruction was caused by enlarged salivary glands secondary to mumps.
    • This highlights a rare but documented complication of mumps.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this complication is important for clinicians managing mumps.
    • Understanding the mechanism can aid in diagnosis and management.
    • Further investigation into the frequency and risk factors may be warranted.
