A rare case of primary nasal tuberculosis was incidentally found in a woman with chronic rhinitis and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Early diagnosis and medical treatment with antituberculosis drugs are crucial for managing this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Chronic rhinitis and inferior turbinate hypertrophy are common conditions.
  • Primary nasal tuberculosis is an exceptionally rare diagnosis.
  • Tuberculosis primarily affects the respiratory system, but can manifest in the nasal cavity.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old woman presented with chronic rhinitis and inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
  • Nasal tuberculosis was unexpectedly diagnosed post-inferior turbinectomy.
  • Symptoms can include unilateral nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, or epistaxis.

Findings:

  • Primary nasal tuberculosis is more prevalent in women.
  • Clinical examination may reveal septal or turbinate ulcerations/polyps.

  • Diagnosis is confirmed via anatomopathological and bacteriological analysis.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare infections in chronic nasal conditions.
    • Prompt diagnosis and medical management with antituberculosis drugs are essential.
    • Further literature review is warranted to understand this rare presentation better.
