Abstract
Acute bacterial parotitis (ABP) is an uncommon condition in immunosuppressed adult cancer patients. Here, we report 2 cases of parotitis in immunocompromised patients; one with a diagnosis of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma and the other with acute myeloid lymphoma. Both patients were treated with antibiotics and local management with resolution of their parotitis. Per review of literature, this is the first article describing ABP in patients with bone marrow transplantation and hematologic malignancies. Moreover, this is also the first article reporting ABP due to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, an opportunistic gram-negative rod bacterium.
