ABSTRACT
A case ofparotid tuberculosis (PTB) that during its clinical presentation complementary proofs, exploration and realised treatment made suspect as first possibility a parotid tumor is presented. After an histologic study, it could be proved that the real problem of the patient was that she had suffered a parotid tuberculosis. An exposition of the case is made with the different technics that must be realised facing a patient of these caracteristics, before thinking in surgery, although secure, but with its mortal risks in these times where the incidence of tuberculosis is increasing in the first world.

Se presenta un caso de tuberculosis parotídea (PTB), que durante su presentación clínica, pruebas complementarias exploratorias y tratamientos realizados; hizo sospechar como primera posibilidad, que presentaba un tumor en dicha glándula. Una vez estudiada histológicamente, se pudo comprobar como realmente el problema de la paciente era que había padecido una tuberculosis parotídea. Se hace una exposición del caso, así como las diferentes técnicas que se deben realizar ante un paciente de estas características, antes de llegar a someterle a una cirugía, que aunque segura, siempre entraña cierto riesgo de morbilidad. Sobre todo en estos tiempos en los que de nuevo la incidencia de tuberculosis está aumentando en el primer mundo

We present one case of a pluripathologic female patient who has developed an submaseterin abscess secondary to an actinomyces mandibular osteomielitis. The initial presentation seems an acute supurative parothiditis. We describe its presentation, evolution, special tests done for its diagnostic, as also the discussion of the type and duration of the treatment. And we include also a differential diagnosis between the two diseases, with a similar form. We do also a bibliographic revision of the few similar cases published.
