ABSTRACT

This article presents a case of a young, otherwise asymptomatic male patient with a parotid gland enlargement. The initial clinical history did not reveal any risk factors related with HIV infection. A fine needle aspiration biopsy of the lesion showed a benign cystic lymphoepithelial lesion of the parotid gland. This once unusual lesion of the salivary gland has been recently associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and is presently encountered with increased frequency in the clinical practice. The knowledge of the association between these two entities led, in this case, to the diagnosis of HIV infection in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. Early detection of HIV infection is of vital importance since it has been demonstrated that prompt treatment of these patients with AZT slows down the progression of the disease

ABSTRACT

La biopsia por aspiración con aguja fina esta actualmente aceptada como una técnica diagnóstica segura y confiable. En los pacientes que se presentan con enfermedad metastática diseminada de origin desconocido puede jugar un papel importante aportando un diagnóstico certero y rápido. Brindando de esta forma la oportundad de iniciar un plan terapéutico rápidamente. Esta técnica usualmente se puede realizar sin necesidad de hospitalizar al paciente con lo cual se logra reducir los costos tanto para el paciente como para el hospital. En los casos en que se llega a un diagnóstico definitivo se logra también evitarle una cirugía innecesaria al paciente. Este artículo presenta varios casos ilustrativos en los que se llegó a un diagnóstico final mediante el uso de la biopsia por aspiración con aguja fina
