[Bilateral parotid'primary tuberculosis,a case study].

We report a case of bilateral Primary tuberculosis of the parotid gland that evolve more than one year, in a 35 years old patient, without any pathologic antecedent, where physical examination showed bilateral parotid swelling, in a context of conservation of general state. Ultrasound showed parotids increased in volume, heterogeneous with many fluid tissue formations, whose largest voluminous at right measure 28 millimeters, against 25 millimeters at left, with necrosis areas. The scan showed homogenous tissue density lesions, enhanced after contrast product injection. The fine needle aspiration was in favor of granulomatous lymphadenitis, suggestive of tuberculosis. Intradermoreaction to tuberculin was positive (15 millimeters in diameter). The diagnosis of bilateral primary tuberculosis of the parotid was retained. A 6 months antituberculosis medical treatment was established with disappearance of parotid swelling, without recidive or others complications, on a decline of 14 months after treatment.
