Abstract
- Warthin's tumor is a common neoplasm of the major salivary glands. Tuberculosis of the parotid gland is rare. It may result from the involvement of intraparotid lymph nodes or the infection of parenchyma, either primary or secondary to nodal disease. Clinically, tuberculosis of the parotid may not be distinguishable from a neoplasm. This report presents a patient with a parotid mass that was thought to be a malignancy but, after surgery, was diagnosed to be Warthin's tumor associated with tuberculosis.
