“…Some granulomatous diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy can cause ulcerative lesions in the oral cavity [ 23 , 56 , 57 ]. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated 9.4 million incident cases and 11.1 million prevalent cases of TB globally [ 23 , 57 ]. Tuberculosis rarely affects oral mucosa, roughly 1.4% of all TB cases with a male to female ratio of 4 : 1 [ 23 ].…”

Diagnosis of oral ulcerative lesions might be quite challenging. This narrative review article aims to introduce an updated decision tree for diagnosing oral ulcerative lesions on the basis of their diagnostic features. Various general search engines and specialized databases including PubMed, PubMed Central, Medline Plus, EBSCO, Science Direct, Scopus, Embase, and authenticated textbooks were used to find relevant topics by means of MeSH keywords such as “oral ulcer,” “stomatitis,” and “mouth diseases.” Thereafter, English-language articles published since 1983 to 2015 in both medical and dental journals including reviews, meta-analyses, original papers, and case reports were appraised. Upon compilation of the relevant data, oral ulcerative lesions were categorized into three major groups: acute, chronic, and recurrent ulcers and into five subgroups: solitary acute, multiple acute, solitary chronic, multiple chronic, and solitary/multiple recurrent, based on the number and duration of lesions. In total, 29 entities were organized in the form of a decision tree in order to help clinicians establish a logical diagnosis by stepwise progression.

Xerostomia is a common complaint of nearly half of the elderly population and about one-fifth of younger adults. It causes several signs and symptoms, and compromise oral functions and health-related quality-of-life. Multiple reasons are proposed to describe the etiology of xerostomia such as local factors, psychogenic factors, and systemic diseases. In order to manage xerostomia effectively, identification of the main causality is mandatory. The aim of this review was to present systemic diseases leading to xerostomia with their mechanisms of action. We used various general search engines and specialized databases such as Google, Google Scholar, Yahoo, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Medknow, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Scopus, WebMD, EMBASE, and authorized textbooks to find relevant topics by means of Medical Subject Headings keywords such as “xerostomia,” “hyposalivations,” “mouth dryness,” “disease,” and “systemic.” We appraised 97 English-language articles published over the last 40 years in both medical and dental journals including reviews, meta-analysis, original papers, and case reports. Upon compilation of relevant data, it was concluded that autoimmune diseases most frequently involve salivary glands and cause xerostomia followed by diabetes mellitus, renal failure, and graft-versus-host disease. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms of systemic disease-related xerostomia are: autoimmunity, infiltration of immunocompetent cells, granuloma formation, fibrosis and dehydration, deposition of proteinaceous substances, bacterial infection, and side-effects of medications.

“…Parotid tuberculosis falls into the category III, and therefore the medication plan adopted is 2RHEZ/4RH. It combines an initial 2-month phase based on 4 so-called first-line antibacterial molecules (RHEZ): rifampicin; isoniazid; ethambutol, pyrazinamide; followed by a 4-month consolidation phase combining (RH) Rifampicin and Isoniazid [8,9]. Direct supervision of medication intake is performed during the initial phase of treatment, with bio clinical and/or radiological monitoring of efficiency and tolerance to antibacterial agents throughout the duration of therapeutic compliance.…”

Parotid tuberculosis remains a very rare localization in the Department of Otolaryngology and Cervico-Facial Surgery (ENT) sphere. It is presented in the form of a deceptive clinical picture causing confusion with other pathologies of the parotid gland, including tumor pathology. In addition, its lack of knowledge by practitioners increases the risk of missing the diagnosis. Often, the diagnosis is a histological surprise on a piece of excision after an exploratory parotidectomy. However, its treatment is primarily medical if the positive diagnosis is well established. We report medical observation of two new cases aged 44 and 45 respectively, who consult our center for parotid swelling. Radiological examinations were in favor of intraparotid cystic lesions. Both patients benefited from an excision whose histopathological study was in favor of primary parotid tuberculosis. The subsequent evolution was favorable under antituberculous treatment.
