“…Histopathological features of tuberculosis is caseating granulomas. 13 In our case, diagnosis was made histologically after superficial parotidectomy. The patient did not have any radiographic evidence of either active or latent pulmonary tuberculosis on chest X-ray and GeneXpert was negative.…”

“…11 The first reported case of tubercular parotiditis was diagnosed in 1893 by C. De Poali (in Janmeja et al), 12 and since then less than 200 cases have been reported in the litera- ture. 13 Parotid tuberculosis can occur both as a primary entity when the mycobacterium ascends into the salivary gland via its duct from a focus of mycobacterial infection in the oral cavity or secondarily through hematogeneous or lymphatic spread from a primary lung focus. 11,14 Parotid TB has a wide clinical presentation.…”

Majority of the cases of Tuberculosis (TB) occur in the pulmonary system, other extrapulmonary sites are rare, accounting for 15% of all TB cases. Among the extrapulmonary manifestations, TB parotitis is extremely rare, only few cases were reported in Africa despite the endemicity of the disease. We present a 23 years old man who developed a right infra-auricular swelling of three month duration, with no clinical or laboratory evidence of immunosuppression or TB in the lungs or other part of the body. High index of suspicion is required to diagnose this rare condition and the place of histological examination is imperative.

Parotis bezinin tüberkülozu oldukça nadir olup genellikle yavaş seyirlidir. Parotisin diğer kitlelerinden ayırt edilmeleri zor olup, klinik bulgular nonspesifiktir. Görüntüleme bulguları da spesifik olmayıp, tanı genellikle histopatolojik değerlendirme sonrasında konur. Bu makalede, sağ parotis bezi lojunda kitle ile başvuran 72 yaşındaki bayan hastayı sunduk. Bu şişlik 4 ay önce başlamış ve gittikçe büyümüştü. Muayenede sağ parotis bölgesinde yaklaşık 2 cm boyutlarında yarı hareketli kitle saptandı. Balgamda aside dirençli basil negatifti. Laboratuvar bulguları ve akciğer grafisi normaldi. Ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede parotis bezinde 2 cm boyutlarında heterojen kitle ve komşuluğunda lenf nodları tespit edildi. Parotis bezinden ve komşu lenfadenopatiden ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi yapıldı. Nonkazeifiye granülomlar görüldü, ancak basil üretilemedi. Antitüberküloz tedaviden fayda gören hasta parotis tüberkülozu olarak değerlendirildi.

“…Tuberculosis of the parotid gland remains extremely rare, even in countries where tuberculosis is endemic. Less than two hundred cases of parotid gland tuberculosis have been reported in the literature [4]. The salivary glands are usually spared of tuberculosis because of the bactericidal action of saliva due to the presence of thiocyanate ions and proteolytic enzymes, such as lysozyme.…”

Tuberculosis of the parotid gland is a rare condition, even in endemic countries. It usually presents as a slow growing swelling, which can be mistaken for a neoplasm of the parotid gland. Diagnosis is by high suspicion and demonstration of epithelioid granulomas on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Herein, we report a case of parotid tuberculosis, secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis, in a 50-year-old female patient diagnosed by FNAC and treated successfully with anti-tuberculosis regimen.
