Abstract Juvenile recurrent parotitis is a rare inflammatory disease characterised by intermittent sudden onset episodes of parotid swelling unrelated to eating. It is the second most common salivary gland disease in children, next to mumps. A case of this condition affecting a 2‐year‐old boy is reported and the literature reviewed.
