Abstract
A patient who developed acute bilateral parotid enlargement after ingestion of three tablets of oxyphenylbutazone for the first time is reported. There was dryness of the mouth and swelling of the mucous membranes of the mouth and larynx. All symptoms disappeared immediately after withdrawal of the drug and administration of prednisone. Unlike phenylbutazone, parotitis is a rare complication of oxyphenylbutazone therapy.
