AbstractBenign diseases of the parotid gland only rarely cause facial nerve paralysis. A parotid gland tumour with peripheral facial nerve paralysis is generally accepted as being malignant, although this rule is not without exceptions. We report a case of chronic non-specific parotitis with an inflammatory pseudotumour causing a peripheral paralysis of the ipsilateral facial nerve. Antiinflammatory and antibiotic treatment caused the complete remission of the parotitis and facial nerve palsy within 6 weeks.
