مستخلص: Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis , an acid-fast bacillus that is predominantly transmitted through the respiratory system. Although TB most commonly infects the lungs, it may also affect other organs, resulting in secondary extrapulmonary TB. Extrapulmonary TB may occur alone or in conjunction with a primary pulmonary focus, such as disseminated TB resulting from self-inoculation with infected sputum, blood, or lymphatics. The lymph nodes are the most commonly seen extrapulmonary sites of TB. Oropharyngeal tubercular lesions are infrequent, and primary TB of the oropharynx is even more uncommon. Here, we present an unusual case of oropharyngeal TB in a young immunocompetent patient occurring without any evidence of pulmonary TB or cervical lymphadenopathy.
