Parotid gland tuberculosis is rare and may present in different clinical forms. We present three cases of tuberculosis of the parotid gland that presented to us with different clinico‐pathological appearances. The cases were diagnosed on the basis of histopathological evaluation and fine needle aspiration cytology. All the patients responded to four‐drug antitubercular chemotherapy.
