Bilateral intra parotid tubercular lymphadenitis.

Tubercular parotitis is an extremely rare clinical condition which is difficult to diagnose. The rarity of this condition can be seen from the evidence of only a few reported cases in the litera-ture. Tubercular infection is quiet common in this part of the world, but Tubercular Parotitis is still a rarity. A case of Bilateral tubercular parotitis diagnosed by FNAC, showing tubercular involvement of the intra parotid lymph node is presented due to its rarity.
