Abstract
We report the case of a 32-year-old man presentedwithleftpre-auricularswellingthathad been evolving for twomonths. Physical examination found a fixed inflammatory parotid mass. Ultrasound of the parotid region found a mixed parotid nodule with liquid redominance. The swelling was drained. Histological examination of a biopsy specimen of the parotid gland revealed an epithelioid granuloma with caseous necrosis. The patient is then treated with anti-tuberculosis with a favorable result.
