Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, though rare, presents diagnostic challenges. This study highlights six cases, all successfully treated with standard antituberculosis therapy, showing favorable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is an uncommon but increasingly recognized clinical entity.
  • It poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and varied presentation.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and preventing complications.

Purpose:

  • To report on a series of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis cases.
  • To describe the diagnostic methods and treatment strategies employed.
  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with nasopharyngeal tuberculosis.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study identified six cases of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis (2 males, 4 females; average age 41).
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via histologic examination of biopsy specimens revealing typical tuberculous lesions.
