TUBERCULOSIS is a common disease caused by M tuberculi. overall 20-25% manifest as extrapulmonary TB example pleura, abdomen, kidney, bones, and lymph nodes. Less than 1 % incidence in India. Even in endemic countries parotid tuberculosis is very rare. Discussion:Extra pulmonary tuberculosis is common in the pleura, abdomen, genitourinary system. Even though tuberculosis is common in developing countries like India, salivary gland involvement is rare. The parotid gland is the most common salivary gland to be infected with mycobacterium. The clinical presentation varies from a localised indolent chronic swelling to an acute painful swelling Imaging techniques such as CT and MRI are sensitive but not specific. Ultrasound examination is the initial imaging technique for parotid gland evaluation. Chest radiography is mandatory for patients with symptoms of TB.Conclusion :It is symptomatically similar to neoplasm and non-existing symptoms of TB cause several difficulties. Parotid gland abscess caused by Tuberculosis is always comparable in diagnosis to a solitary mass.
