Primary Parotid Tuberculosis, An Atypical Parotid Tumour
Abstract Tuberculous parotitis, a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of parotid tumors. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman with ganglionar tuberculous parotitis, emphasizing the importance of early detection to initiate antituberculous therapy and prevent complications.
