“…However, parotid gland involvement is extremely rare, even in countries in which tuberculosis is endemic [ 3 ]. Less than 200 cases have been reported since the first description of this condition by von Stubenrauch in 1894 [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…There are varied clinical presentations of parotid gland tuberculosis. The commonest mode of presentation is a slowly enlarging painless mass, over months to years, which results from infection of intracapsular or pericapsular lymph nodes [9][10][11]. This mimics a neoplasm and a high index of suspicion is required for the diagnosis.…”

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.

“…Die Diagnosesicherung kann minimal invasiv durch die Feinnadelpunktionszytologie erfolgen. Dabei ist die Tuberkulose differenzialdiagnostisch von einem pleomorphen Adenom, einem Zystadenolymphom, einer chronischen Parotitis, einer chronischen Lymphadenitis, einer Sarkoidose, einem Sjögren-Syndrom oder einer Tumormetastase abzugrenzen [9,10]. Insbesondere bei HIV-Infektion sollte differenzialdiagnostisch auch an HIV-assoziierte lymphoepitheliale Zysten gedacht werden [11,12].…”

A 35-year-old man with HIV-infection presented with a progressive swelling of the left parotid gland lasting for 3 months. Physical examination revealed a firm mass on the tail of the parotid gland. Ultrasound examination of the left parotid showed a well-circumscribed round lesion. MR imaging demonstrated a 2 cm lesion in the ventral subcutaneous part of the parotid gland. Lateral parotidectomy was performed with suspected pleomorphic adenoma. Histologic analysis revealed a granulomatous necrotising inflammatory lesion of an intra- and extraparotideal lymph node. The patient had no family history of tuberculosis. Hematologic investigations were within normal limits. Chest X-ray was normal. Primary tuberculosis of the parotid gland in a patient with HIV-infection was diagnosed and anti-mycobacterial therapy was started. In HIV-patients with unilateral swelling of the parotid gland, tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma and fine needle aspiration cytology should be performed to avoid unnecessary surgery.
