Primary tuberculosis of parotid gland is rare. Its occurrence may pose a diagnostic problem in
differentiating it from parotid tumours. It occurs without any primary focus in lungs or any
pulmonary symptom. We report a case of 17 year old female who presented with clinical picture
of parotid tumour. Ultrasound showed picture of nodule in parotid. Fine needle aspiration
cytology (FNAC) was inconclusive. Superficial parotidectomy was done. Histopathology revealed
tuberculosis of parotid gland. Four drugs Antikoch’s treatment (AKT) was given for two months
and followed by two drugs for four months.
