Juvenile recurrent parotitis

A child in middle childhood presented with six episodes of left-sided parotitis in the last 6 months. This was associated with erythematous circinate patches of the dorsal aspect of the tongue suggestive of geographic tongue. His growth was normal with no underlying nutritional deficiencies. Relevant investigations ruled out immune conditions like Sjogren's syndrome, lupus erythematosus and immunodeficiencies. The child had a complete resolution on conservative management. This case depicts a rare association of two uncommon entities.
