Abstract
The involvement of the parotid gland by acute lymphoblastic leukemia in extramedullary relapse is considered a rare occurrence. A 5-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia presented with peripheral facial paralysis, and her symptoms remained unrelieved despite symptomatic treatment. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed hypermetabolic activity not only in the left parotid gland but also in multiple cervical lymph nodes, confirming a relapse of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
