  • Title: Tuberculosis of the parotid gland.
    Author: Janmeja AK, Das SK, Kochhar S, Handa U.
    Journal: Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci; 2003; 45(1):67-9. PubMed ID: 12683715.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis of the parotid gland is a rare entity. Only about a hundred cases have been reported till date, mostly from parotidectomy specimens. The present case was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration and treated successfully by short-course antitubercular chemotherapy. An early diagnosis can avoid parotidectomy, which can be a hazardous procedure in a medically treatable condition.
