Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Oral Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) primarily affects the lungs.
  • Primary TB in the upper respiratory tract (URT) is exceptionally rare.
  • Oral cavity involvement in TB is infrequent.

Observation:

  • A case of primary tuberculosis presenting in the upper respiratory tract, specifically the oral cavity, is described.
  • This presentation deviates from typical TB manifestations.

Findings:

  • The case highlights an unusual clinical presentation of tuberculosis.
  • It underscores the possibility of extrapulmonary TB in the URT and oral regions.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of rare TB presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis.
  • This case contributes to understanding the diverse clinical spectrum of tuberculosis.
  • Further research into extrapulmonary TB is warranted.
