Summary

Parotid gland tuberculosis, though rare, can manifest uniquely. Three diverse cases highlight the diagnostic value of histopathology and fine needle aspiration cytology, with all patients successfully treated using standard four-drug chemotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Parotid gland tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • Clinical presentations of parotid tuberculosis can be varied and mimic other pathologies.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • This study details three distinct cases of parotid gland tuberculosis.
  • The cases presented with differing clinico-pathological appearances, challenging initial diagnosis.
  • Diagnostic methods included histopathological evaluation and fine needle aspiration cytology.

Findings:

  • Histopathology and fine needle aspiration cytology confirmed tuberculosis in all three cases.
  • The diverse presentations underscore the importance of considering tuberculosis in parotid swellings.

  • All patients achieved a positive clinical outcome.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the diagnostic utility of histopathology and FNAC for parotid tuberculosis.
    • Emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion for tuberculosis in parotid gland lesions.
    • Confirms the efficacy of standard four-drug antitubercular chemotherapy for parotid tuberculosis.
