Primary tonsillar tuberculosis was diagnosed in a 67-year-old man presenting with an enlarged tonsil. This rare presentation mimicked malignancy, highlighting the importance of considering tuberculosis in differential diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Enlarged tonsils can be indicative of various conditions, including malignancy and infections.
  • Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old male presented with a significantly enlarged left tonsil.
  • The patient had a history of dental extraction six months prior to presentation.

Findings:

  • Clinical and histopathological examinations confirmed the enlarged tonsil was due to primary tonsillar tuberculosis.
  • The presentation mimicked tonsillar malignancy, necessitating extensive investigation.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of including tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis for tonsillar masses, even in the absence of typical systemic symptoms.
