ABSTRACT
Six cases of salivary gland tuberculosis are described, three parotid and three submandibular, only three of them were diagnosed preoperatively. The tuberculous process affects a lymph node or tissue adjacent to or included in the gland and then invades the salivary tissue itself, thus excision of the gland may be needed as an adjuvant to anti-tuberculous chemotherapy in treating the disease
