Sumario:While Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) typically presents with respiratory tract symptoms, atypical manifestations have been reported. We present a case of a 46-year-old man who presented with fever but no respiratory tract symptoms, and later develops bilateral parotitis. We review the literature for all other reported cases of parotitis and describe common features of these cases. It is important to consider COVID-19 in cases of parotitis, as this impacts patient management and ensures important infection control measures are undertaken.
