Tuberculose parotidienne: un diagnostic oublie, à propos de 2 cas et revue de littérature

Abstract: RésuméLa tuberculose parotidienne reste une localisation très rare au niveau de la sphère ORL. Elle se présente sous forme d'un tableau clinique trompeur faisant confusion avec d'autres pathologies de la glande parotide, notamment la pathologie tumorale. De plus, sa méconnaissance par des praticiens, augmente le risque de passer à côté du diagnostic.
