Fulltext PDFAlthough tuberculosis is a common health problem in developing countries (India), tuberculous parotitis is rarely encountered. It has often misdiagnosed as parotid neoplasm as it has non-specific symptoms and less incidence. In salivary glands USG, CT, Tru-cut and incisional diagnostic biopsies are not much beneficial, Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) can provide a diagnosis. FNAC is preliminary step in the workup of a patient with a parotid mass, to avoid surgery in cases of inflammatory lesions. We present a case of parotid tuberculosis in a 52-year-old male that was diagnosed on cytology and managed medically.
