Abstract
|
|
|
|
Parotid gland is an uncommon location for tuberculosis, but the incidence in this lesion has increased in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Warthin’s tumor is a relatively common benign tumor of the salivary glands. However, a coincidence of tuberculosis and Warthin’s tumor in the parotid gland is extremely rare. We report a case of a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who presented parotid swelling. After superficial parotidectomy, the lesion was diagnosed to be tuberculosis associated with Warthin’s tumor.
