ABSTRACT

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection with worldwide distribution, whose definitive host is felines. It is only symptomatic in less than 20% of immunocompetent patients. Symptoms may vary from general malaise, fever, weakness and the presence of cervical lymphadenopathy. A description of an uncommon presentation of this di- sease in a male patient with progressively growing left-sided parotid mass, in whom a parotidectomy was performed to rule out lymphoproliferative disease. Infection by Toxoplasma gondii was diagnosed after a series of exams.
