    Abstract:
    Isolated parotid tuberculosis is difficult to diagnose in the pediatric age group. Often the problem leads to surgery.

Computerized tomography, aspiration cytology, PCR differentiation, culture sensitivity, and drug therapy led to complete resolution. A literature review revealed case reports suggesting a trend towards a conservative approach.
