title: [Parotid tuberculosis].
abstract: Two cases of tuberculosis in the parotid gland are presented. In both cases, the patients were submitted to operation on account of a suspected parotid tumour. Histological examination, revealed, surprisingly, tuberculosis. This is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and only four cases were referred to the Tuberculosis Register in Denmark in 1988.
