ABSTRACT
La parotiditis es una enfermedad vírica aguda, caracterizada por fiebre e hinchazón dolorosa de una o más glándulas salivales, generalmente la parótida, aunque pueden afectarse las glándulas submaxilares y sublinguales. El cuadro clínico inicial es inespecífico, aunque en las primeras 24 h suelen aparecer otalgia y sensibilidad dolorosa en la parótida. Además, pueden aparecer complicaciones a nivel extraglandular, sobre todo a nivel neurológico, testicular, pancreático, articular y cardíaco. Entre estas últimas, las más frecuentes son los cambios electrocardiográficos. También está ampliamente descrita la miocarditis vírica. Presentamos una rara complicación, no descrita en la literatura, de asistolias recurrentes provocadas por la compresión del seno carotídeo, debido a la inflamación local producida por la parotiditis (AU)
Mumps is an acute viral disease, characterized by fever and painful swelling of one or more salivary glands, usually the parotid, and sometimes the sublingual or submandibular glands. The initial clinical picture is non-specific, but during the first 24 h there is otalgia and tenderness in the parotid gland. Apart from the involvement of the salivary glands, neurological, testicular, pancreatic, joint, or cardiac complications may occur. Among the latter, the most frequent are the electrocardiographic changes. Viral myocarditis has also been widely reported. We report a rare complication, not yet described in the literature, of recurrent asytolia produced by compression of the carotid sinus as a result of local inflammation caused by mumps (AU)

El angiomixoma superficial (AS) es una neoplasia benigna cutánea infrecuente que fue descrita por primera vez por Allen y colaboradores en 1988. Presentamos el primer caso publicado en la literatura médica de angiomixoma superficial localizado en la región parotídea, destacando la importancia de distinguir esta entidad de otras lesiones que pueden aparecer en esta área, como neoplasias cutáneas, tumores o quistes. Así mismo hacemos hincapié en la necesidad de descartar la asociación con el complejo Carney ante el diagnóstico de este tipo de lesiones(AU)
Superficial angiomyxoma (SA) is a rare benign cutaneous neoplasm first described by Allen et al in 1988. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of superficial angiomyxoma located in the parotid region. We also stress the importance of distinguishing this entity from other lesions that may be involved in this location such as cutaneous neoplasms, parotid tumours or cysts. We emphasise the need to rule out the Carney complex, which has been associated with these tumours(AU)
