Infections of the parotid gland with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are rarely described. Here, we report on an infection of the parotid gland caused by Mycobacterium avium and give a literature-based overview about this entity. In the light of a global increase of mycobacterial infections, unusual manifestations have to be considered and should be included in the differential diagnosis when dealing with solid lesions of uncertain aetiology in the head and neck region.
非结核分枝杆菌(NTM)引起的腮腺感染鲜有报道。在此,我们报告一例由鸟分枝杆菌引起的腮腺感染,并基于文献对此类病例进行概述。鉴于分枝杆菌感染在全球范围内呈上升趋势,在处理头颈部病因不明的实性病变时,必须考虑到不寻常的表现,并应将其纳入鉴别诊断。
