Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is defined as recurrent inflammatory parotitis in children of unknown etiology.1 It is a rare condition and characterized by multiple episodes of parotid swelling and/or pain associated with fever or malaise over a period of years. In most cases the symptoms resolve spontaneously after puberty but all children should be screened to exclude Sjogren's syndrome, lymphoma and immunodeficiency including human immunodeficiency virus. We present a 9-year-old boy who had 11 episodes of recurrent parotid swelling.
