Abstract
Localization of tuberculosis in salivary glands is rare. Diagnosis is difficult because there are no specific clinical, radiological or biological signs of the disease. Only bacteriological and histopathological findings can confirm the diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration cytology is very helpful, and permits to avoid abusive surgery. Treatment is based on antituberculous drugs and allows usually a favourable evolution.
