The authors report 2 cases of parotid gland tuberculosis treated in the O.R.L. Service of C.H.U. H. Thameur, Tunisia. It's very rare infection even in the countries where the tuberculosis is common (Kuruvilla) (1981) (3). The preoperative diagnosis is difficult with a pleomorphic adenoma, a sarcoma or every parotid tumor. A skin's fistula will help the diagnosis which is confirmed by pathology and bacteriology. The treatment consist in a operative management with specific antibiotics. The prognosis is commonly well.
