An observational prospective and descriptive study of 27 patients clinically and histopathologically diagnosed with chronic parotitis was performed with the objective of finding out the behaviour of such disease in our context from 1994- to 1995. 19 were females (70.4 %) and 8 were males. 3.7 % were under 10 years and the laft parotid gland was the most affected. Blair’s surgical technique was successfully used in 19 patients (70.4 %) and none of them died. Complications occured in 4 patients (14.8 %). This disease is common in children, its clinical pattern ranges from months to years, so, it is not an uncommon disease after the first decades of life.

Palabras clave : PAROTITIS [epidemiology]; PAROTITIS [surgery].
