Abstract

The tuberculosis infection of the parotid gland is a rare condition and its progress is usually slow. The clinical findings of this entity are nonspesific and differential diagnosis from other parotid masses is challenging. The imaging findings are also nonspesific and the diagnosis is usually made by histo-pathological evaluation. Here we report a 72 years old female patient who applied to our clinic with a parotid mass lesion, which was located on her right neck and progressed within 4 months. In physical examination, a semi-mobile mass about 2 cm in size was detected on right parotid region. The sputum smears negative for acid-fast bacilli are detected. Laboratory findings and plain chest radiography were normal. 2 cm size heterogeneous mass in the parotid gland and adjacent lymphadenopathy were detected by magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was done from parotid gland and adjacent lymphadenopathy. Non-caseous granulomas were seen, but no basil was produced. Antituberculosis therapy was given to the patient. The mass lesion showed regression by the treatment so we concluded the diagnosis of parotid gland tuberculosis.

Parotis bezi tüberkülozu olgusu

Year 2020, Volume: 12 Issue: 1, 73 - 77, 01.03.2020

Abstract

Parotis bezinin tüberkülozu oldukça nadir olup genellikle yavaş seyirlidir. Parotisin diğer kitlelerinden ayırt edilmeleri zor olup, klinik bulgular nonspesifiktir. Görüntüleme bulguları da spesifik olmayıp, tanı genellikle histopatolojik değerlendirme sonrasında konur. Bu makalede, sağ parotis bezi lojunda kitle ile başvuran 72 yaşındaki bayan hastayı sunduk. Bu şişlik 4 ay önce başlamış ve gittikçe büyümüştü. Muayenede sağ parotis bölgesinde yaklaşık 2 cm boyutlarında yarı hareketli kitle saptandı. Balgamda aside dirençli basil negatifti. Laboratuvar bulguları ve akciğer grafisi normaldi. Ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede parotis bezinde 2 cm boyutlarında heterojen kitle ve komşuluğunda lenf nodları tespit edildi. Parotis bezinden ve komşu lenfadenopatiden ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi yapıldı. Nonkazeifiye granülomlar görüldü, ancak basil üretilemedi. Antitüberküloz tedaviden fayda gören hasta parotis tüberkülozu olarak değerlendirildi.
