Parotid gland tuberculosis is a very rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with less than 200 cases reported in literature. We describe a 10-year-old female who presented with a swelling in the left parotid region during the last month. CT scan neck revealed an abscess in the left parotid gland extending into the submandibular gland, muscles, and bone. Pus aspirated by FNAC showed acid fast bacilli in the ZN stain, and GeneXpert was positive for rifampicin-sensitive . She was successfully treated with antituberculous therapy given for 6 months. Parotid gland tuberculosis, although rare, has a good prognosis with drug therapy. Surgery is rarely required.
腮腺结核是肺外结核中一种非常罕见的类型，文献报道的病例不足200例。我们描述了一名10岁女性，她在过去一个月出现左侧腮腺区肿胀。颈部CT扫描显示左侧腮腺有脓肿，延伸至下颌下腺、肌肉和骨骼。细针穿刺抽吸的脓液在齐-尼染色中显示抗酸杆菌，GeneXpert检测对利福平敏感呈阳性。她接受了6个月的抗结核治疗，治疗成功。腮腺结核虽然罕见，但药物治疗预后良好。很少需要手术。
