Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland)·2022

This case report details a rare instance of isolated nasopharyngeal tuberculosis in a woman presenting with ear symptoms. The diagnosis was challenging due to its occurrence in a non-endemic region and prolonged duration.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • It can present with or without cervical lymphadenopathy, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Tuberculosis is typically associated with endemic regions, making extrathoracic manifestations rare in non-endemic areas.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old female presented with isolated otological symptoms.
  • Clinical examination and imaging revealed nasopharyngeal involvement.
  • The patient resided in a tuberculosis non-endemic zone.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of isolated nasopharyngeal tuberculosis was confirmed.
  • The condition was noted to have likely persisted for several years.

  • This presentation highlights the potential for TB to manifest atypically in non-endemic settings.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal lesions, even in non-endemic areas.
    • Persistent otological symptoms warrant thorough investigation for rare infectious causes.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing nasopharyngeal tuberculosis and preventing complications.
