 AB    20 seropositive HIV patients were examined for the detection of parotid
       cysts by means of B-mode sonography. In three cases bilateral cysts were
       found, in three cases unilateral. Only one patient showed clinical
       symptoms with a bilateral and painless parotideal mass. The cysts were
       0.32 to 3.8 cm in diameter. No correlation could be found, neither to
       the CDC-classification (according to the Center for Disease Control) nor
       to different HIV-related lesions. Pathogenesis, diagnostic procedure,
       and clinical relevance of this new entity are discussed.
       HIV-seropositive patients should be examined sonographically for
       detection of parotid cysts as indicators for early manifestation of a
       HIV infection. It is recommended that in patients having cervical
       sonography for any reasons, a hidden HIV-infection should be excluded
       once cystic parotideal lesions have been detected.
