    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Orificial tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
    • It can present with ulcers in various locations, often mimicking other conditions.
    • Pulmonary tuberculosis frequently coexists with orificial tuberculosis.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with non-healing ulcers: one on the right cheek and another with a genital ulcer and a tongue ulcer.
    • Initial diagnoses were malignant and venereal ulcers, respectively.
    • Both patients also had diffuse pulmonary tuberculosis.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic investigations revealed that both cases of orificial ulcers were caused by tuberculosis.
    • This highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of unexplained ulcers.

  • The association with diffuse pulmonary tuberculosis was confirmed in both instances.

    • Implications:

    • These cases underscore the diagnostic challenges posed by orificial tuberculosis.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and preventing transmission.
    • Increased awareness among clinicians can improve patient outcomes for this rare presentation of tuberculosis.
