Nasal tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity even in developing countries where tuberculosis of respiratory tract is extremely high. It becomes more difficult to diagnose if it presents with symptoms which are not commonly associated with nasal tuberculosis. Here we report the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of a rare case of primary nasal tuberculosis of olfactory groove region. Early diagnosis and timely treatment will certainly reduce the morbidity of this disease.

“…Surgical treatment is not necessary in localized nasal disease, and the standard antituberculosis therapy is usually adequate to obtain complete cure of the disease. It should be mentioned, however, that drug resistance must always be considered during treatment [7]. Surgical intervention is occasionally needed to treat local complications, such as extensive nasal scarring.…”

Despite the worldwide increase in tuberculosis lately, primary nasal tuberculosis remains a rare manifestation of the disease, presenting sometimes a confusing diagnostic problem. In this paper, we report the case of a middle-aged female patient, who presented with a lesion of the left nasal cavity and symptoms indicative of malignancy. From the results of the biopsy, a tuberculous nasal granuloma was suspected, and tissue cultures confirmed the diagnosis. Further investigation did not prove any other primary tuberculous lesion, and treatment with standard antituberculosis drugs resulted in complete remission of the disease.
