Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Nasal tuberculosis is an uncommon presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • It can clinically mimic nasopharyngeal cancer, presenting as a mass with enlarged lymph nodes.

Observation:

  • Patients with nasopharyngeal lesions and enlarged lymph nodes should be evaluated for tuberculosis.
  • Biopsy for histological and bacteriological examination is crucial for diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Standard anti-tuberculous chemotherapy provides satisfactory treatment outcomes.
  • Nasal obstruction can be a presenting symptom of this rare condition.

Implications:

  • Tuberculosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal masses.
