CLINICAL CASE STUDY OF TUBERCULOSIS IN PAROTID GLAND FOUND IN CHILDREN AT A MEDICAL SCHOOL IN SOUTH EAST ASIA
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Pharamceutical and Clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
ABSTRACTObjective: Tuberculous parotitis in children is a rare disease and its pre-operative diagnosis remains difficult because of the low incidence andnonspecific presentation of swellings, mimicking benign and malignant neoplasm of the parotid gland.Methods: Patients presenting in the pediatric ward and outdoor patient department were screened and diagnosed on a day to day basis. Diagnosesof the disease in three children were made by strong clinical suspicion on morphological observations of developed swellings and were confirmedby ancillary diagnostic measures, ultrasonography (USG), histology, and Ziehl–Neelsen staining of aspirates of lesions obtained with USG-guided fineneedle aspiration cytology.Results: Rare cases of parotid gland tuberculosis were detected and they were properly investigated, photographed after consent and treatment givento them were documented. Tubercular infections of parotid glands in three children are described that were addressed by anti-tubercular treatment.Conclusion: Etiology confirmed nonspecific presentations of swellings as tuberculous parotitis in three children.Keywords: Tuberculous parotitis, Ultrasonography, Fine-needle aspiration cytology.
