Parotid Gland Tuberculosis
- Tuberculosis infection of the parotid gland con mimic a parotid neoplasm.
- The MRI shown below reveals a well-defined mass lesion, measuring 16 × 21 × 30 mm in size, hypointense on T1-weighted images, and hyperintense on T2-weighted images with homogenous contrast enhancement, located in the posterior part of the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland.[1]
