Parenchymatous parotid tuberculosis, a rare condition affecting the salivary gland, was successfully treated. Diagnosis involved identifying acid-fast bacilli in gastric washings, confirming a pulmonary focus.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Parenchymatous parotid tuberculosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • Tuberculosis (TB) typically affects the lungs, but extrapulmonary sites can be involved.

Observation:

  • A rare case of diffuse parenchymatous parotid tuberculosis was observed.
  • The parotid gland infection was associated with a primary pulmonary tuberculosis focus.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed by identifying alcohol and acid-fast bacilli in gastric washings.
  • The patient received quadruple anti-tuberculous chemotherapy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in parotid gland infections, even when rare.

  • Effective treatment with standard quadruple chemotherapy led to resolution of both pulmonary and parotid TB.
  • Gastric washings can be a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying disseminated tuberculosis.
