“…Orofacial tuberculosis is indeed a rare form of presentation and it can occur in sites such as gingiva, tongue, fausial pillars, buccal mucosa, temperomandibular joints and muscles of mastication [3] . Tuberculous oral lesions accounts for 0.05 to 5% of all TB cases [2,8] .…”

“…TB of masseter muscle can cause trismus or present with submasseteric abscess [6,7] . Majority of these lesions are secondary lesions occuring mainly due to reactivation of latent primary infection such as cutaneous TB like scrofuloderma and spreading to sites like masseter muscle [6] .Since there is no specific pathognomonic signs for TB in such cases, diagnosis can be very crucial [3] . In our case, the patient had no signs to point towards TB, except for the tender swelling in his right cheek.…”

“…The diagnosis of these pauci bacillary lesion is often overlooked as it has variable modes of presentation [3,6] .India being one of the capitals for TB, any suspicious lesion should always be investigated for TB. FNAC of these lesions are mandatory as it can guide us towards the cause.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health hazard Worldwide. India bears a huge burden of world's TB, according to World Health Organzation (WHO) statistics. The most common form of presentation is pulmonary tuberculosis. Extra Pulmonary presentation of TB in masseter muscle is extremely rare. We present a case of 26 year old male with right sided facial swelling, Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) of which revealed TB of masseter muscle. FNAC is a simple,cost effective out patient procedure that can aid in the early diagnosis of orofacial lesions such as extra pulmonary Tuberculosis. The purpose of this paper is to state the significance of early diagnosis of orofacial Tuberculosis and the crucial role played by FNAC in the diagnosis.

et al. 2021

To evaluate changing trends in patient collectives, age-related patterns of manifestation, and diagnostic pathways of patients with extrapulmonary head and neck tuberculosis (TB), and to provide strategies to fasten diagnosis in these patients.Study design: Case control study. Methods: A 10-year retrospective analysis of 35 patients diagnosed with extrapulmonary TB in the head and neck at a tertiary university institution from 2009 to 2019, with special focus on the influence of the patient's age on consideration of TB and clinical patterns.Results: The vast majority of patients younger than 40 years had their origin in countries with high TB burden (P = .0003), and TB was considered very early as a differential diagnosis (P = .0068), while most patients older than 40 years were domestic citizens initially suspected for a malignancy, who more often had an underlying immunosuppressive condition (0.0472). Most frequent manifestations in both groups were the lymph nodes, larynx, and oropharynx. Surprisingly, no differences in the rates of open TB or history of TB infection in the family anamnesis were found. Conclusion:The two groups of patients found most often are younger patients migrating from regions with high TB burden and elderly domestic patients suffering from immunosuppressive conditions, with the latter often being misdiagnosed as malignancies. TB remains an important but difficult differential diagnosis, due to the initially unspecific symptoms and the great variety in the presentation of manifestations in the head and neck.
