Tuberculosis of parotid is a rare clinical entity, and cases of bilateral tubercular parotitis are even rarer. We present a case of bilateral primary parotid tuberculosis in a 49-year-old female. The patient received anti-tuberculosis treatment for six months, resulting in complete resolution of the disease. We also review the theories related to the pathogenesis of tubercular parotitis, and propose a novel hypothesis about greater involvement of parotid gland as compared to other salivary glands in primary tuberculosis.

腮腺结核是一种罕见的临床病症，双侧腮腺结核病例更为罕见。我们报告一例49岁女性双侧原发性腮腺结核的病例。该患者接受了六个月的抗结核治疗，疾病完全消退。我们还回顾了与腮腺结核发病机制相关的理论，并提出了一个新的假说，即在原发性结核中，腮腺比其他唾液腺更易受累。
