Tubercular parotitis is an extremely rare clinical condition which is difficult to diagnose. The rarity of this condition can be seen from the evidence of only a few reported cases in the litera-ture. Tubercular infection is quiet common in this part of the world, but Tubercular Parotitis is still a rarity. A case of Bilateral tubercular parotitis diagnosed by FNAC, showing tubercular involvement of the intra parotid lymph node is presented due to its rarity.
结核性腮腺炎是一种极为罕见且难以诊断的临床病症。从文献中仅有少数病例报道这一证据,便可看出该病症的罕见性。结核感染在世界的这一地区较为常见,但结核性腮腺炎仍然罕见。本文报告一例经细针穿刺抽吸活检(FNAC)诊断的双侧结核性腮腺炎病例,因其罕见性,该病例显示腮腺内淋巴结有结核累及。
