The incidence of retro-parapharyngeal localization of cervical adenitis due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria is very rare. We present a case of an 18-months-old child with an involvement of parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal areas, right parotid and submandibular regions by atypical mycobacteriosis in the CT and MRI scan. The masses were surgically removed and the frozen-section histological exam upheld their atypical mycobacterial origin.
非结核分枝杆菌引起的颈淋巴结炎咽后间隙定位的发生率非常低。我们报告一例18个月大儿童，CT和MRI扫描显示非典型分枝杆菌病累及咽旁和咽后区域、右侧腮腺和下颌下区域。肿块通过手术切除，冰冻切片组织学检查证实其起源于非典型分枝杆菌。
