Both parotid glands are enlarged with innumerable cystic lesions disseminated in both parotid glands, of low signal onT1, hight signal on T2, giving a honeycomb appearance. On moderate heterogeneous enhancement is noted on postcontrast sequences.
Both submandibular glands show a similar but much less prominent involvement as compared to the parotid glands.

Follow-up is mandatory in such case due to the high risk of developing a malignant lymphoma
