Tuberculosis of the submandibular gland is a rare pathology, the diagnosis of which is difficult, given the non- pathognomic clinical presentation and the absence of diagnostic guidelines, the portal of entry can be by hematogenous route or through the excretory canal of the gland. We present the case of a 33-year-old patient who presented with recurrent submandibular sialadenitis without explanation. In order to make a diagnosis a submandibulectomy was performed. The histological study showed a tubercular epitheliogigantocellular granuloma; the patient was put on antitubercular drugs for 6 months with a good evolution.
