“…Other differential diagnoses are parotid cyst, collagen vascular disorders like sarcoidosis, and rarely malignant tumours. Ultrasonography, CT scan, and MRI are the imaging modalities used, but all of them have nonspecific findings [ 8 ]. Two types of parotid involvement have been described in ultrasonography findings, the parenchymal type, where there is diffuse involvement of superficial part of the parotid gland, and periparotid type, where intra- and periglandular lymph nodes are affected and might present as an abscess later [ 9 , 10 ].…”

“…A metanalysis of 49 cases of parotid tuberculosis showed presence of pulmonary tuberculosis in only 25% cases [ 7 ]. Cases described early in literature were confirmed after histopathology of surgically excised gland [ 4 ], but many cases reported in the last decade have been diagnosed with parotid tuberculosis by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) [ 4 , 8 , 11 ]. FNAC has good sensitivity (81%–100%) as well as specificity (94%–100%) [ 12 ].…”

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 Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 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.

“…Acute bacterial parotitis may occur more often from Gram-positive pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus , Fusobacterium spp., and Streptococcus spp [ 10 – 12 ]. Less frequent is parotitis from Mycobacterium tuberculosis usually in the context of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in an immunosuppressed patient [ 12 , 13 ]. Finally, infections within the buccal space may develop on the ground of dental infection spreading typically from the masticator space.…”

Background. Buccal space tumors constitute rare pathologies with significant histological diversity. They may pose serious diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for the head and neck surgeon. Methods. A case of buccal space tumor diagnosed and treated in a tertiary center is presented. Clinical presentation, imaging, and surgical approach are discussed, followed by review of the literature. Results. A 79-year-old male patient with a slowly growing painless mass on the right cheek presented to a head and neck reference center. Imaging revealed a tumor of the right buccal space with nonspecific characteristics. Imaging studies revealed extended infiltration of the masseter muscle as well as the anterior border of the parotid gland. FNA biopsy was performed but was nondiagnostic. The decision of surgical excision with a modified parotidectomy incision was taken. The lesion was completely excised with preservation of neighboring facial nerve branches and ipsilateral Stensen’s duct. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histological examination showed CLL/Lymphoma, and the patient was referred to the hematology department for staging and further management. Conclusion. Differential diagnosis of buccal space masses is very diverse. Despite challenges in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, these entities may be managed surgically with minimal morbidity.

“…The extra pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for approximately 20% of overall active tuberculosis and can be seen in the lymph nodes, meninges, bones and kidneys. 5 Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and the cervical lymph nodes are commonly involved. However, the parotid gland involvement is extremely rare, even in countries in which tuberculosis is endemic.…”
