Parotid gland tuberculosis is rare but increasing in Spain. Diagnosis is challenging, often requiring surgery and long-term medication for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) incidence is rising in Spain.
  • Parotid gland TB is a rare manifestation of the disease.
  • TB can mimic neoplastic processes in the parotid gland.

Observation:

  • Preoperative diagnosis of parotid gland TB is difficult.
  • Complementary tests like fine needle aspiration biopsy, CAT scans, and chest X-rays are often nonspecific.
  • A history of pulmonary tuberculosis is frequently absent in these cases.

Findings:

  • Histopathological diagnosis is essential for parotid gland TB.
  • Surgical parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation is the primary treatment.
  • A 9-month course of tuberculostatic medication follows surgery.

Implications:

  • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for effective management.
  • Parotid gland TB requires a multidisciplinary approach involving infectious disease specialists and surgeons.
  • This condition highlights the importance of considering extrapulmonary TB in differential diagnoses.
