Abstract

This 17-year-old male initially presented to the Accident and Emergency department with a 3-week history of tender, cervical lymphadenopathy, parotid gland enlargement and fevers. There was also an enlarged left intraparotid lymph node measuring 1.1 cm. The left parotid gland demonstrated a heterogeneous, pseudonodular echo pattern, suggestive of coexistent parotid inflammation. Imaging is often non-specific with computed tomography findings often showing multiple affected lymph nodes with homogeneity and perinodal infiltration.3 The aetiology of KFD is a subject of debate.
