Abstract:
The case of a non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection of the parotid gland, presenting in a 15 year old female, is described. The patient presented with a six week history of a rapidly expanding, discrete parotid mass. Definitive management involved surgical removal of the mass by superficial parotidectomy. Current investigation and management of nontuberculous mycobacterial infections of the parotid gland is reviewed.
