Abstract:
Tuberculosis of the maxillary sinus is rare. Likewise, an acute onset that necessitates incision and drainage is also very uncommon. We report the case of a 15-year-old girl who came to us with an abscess on the left side of her face. She was found to have tuberculosis of the left maxillary antrum.
