Аннотация
BACKGROUND: The authors describe bulimia nervosa, or BN, and its effect on the parotid gland. The associated asymptomatic bilaterally enlarged parotid glands often present a diagnostic dilemma.
CASE DESCRIPTION: The authors present a case of a 22-year-old woman with BN who had bilateral parotid gland swelling, serum electrolyte alteration and no dental stigmata. Her principal concern was the associated cosmetic deformity.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Because patients with BN who have parotid gland swelling usually are secretive about their purging, the diagnosis may be confirmed by conducting a clinical examination and a serum electrolyte study. Prompt diagnosis can avoid serious medical complications.
