“…12 Twenty-three cases of TB in the oral cavity have been reported so far in the literature. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Among them, the most common sites of lesion included the gingiva, buccal mucosa, and palate. All the cases were definitively diagnosed through incisional biopsy and pathologic examination.…”

“…variable positive results, which made clinical differential diagnosis difficult. All the patients received drug therapy, and most of them had a good clinical outcome, with the exception of 1 patient, who had a recurrence of the pulmonary lesion because his drug therapy was not completed [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] (Supplementary Table I).…”

“…A systemic predisposing factor, such as altered host resistance from immunosuppression or nutritional deficiencies, increases the susceptibility of a patient to a tubercular infection. 8 Tuberculosis of jaw bone is an uncommon form of chronic osteomyelitis, occurring more often in young individuals and usually in late stages of the disease. Tuberculous osteomyelitis of jaw is very rare and constitutes less than 2% of the skeletal TB.…”

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis of the oral cavity and its associated structures are diagnostic challenge. It is often misdiagnosed by the attending dentist who is the first among clinicians to come across such pathological entity. Lesions are often slow growing and painless and hence are initially neglected. Tubercular osteomyelitis of the jaw bone is a common occurrence in developing countries like India and often these cases first appear in dental out-patient clinic. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the involvement of oral and maxillofacial structures with few case reports and their concurrent diagnostic procedures.

Résumé -La tuberculose de la cavité buccale est une entité rare, souvent secondaire à une localisation pulmonaire. Cet article rapporte un cas de tuberculose du palais, révélatrice d'une tuberculose miliaire pulmonaire, chez un patient de 47 ans. Les manifestations cliniques de la tuberculose buccale sont peu spécifiques. Elle se traduit le plus souvent par une ulcération buccale chronique qui fait évoquer de nombreuses autres étiologies parmi lesquelles une tumeur maligne, une infection bactérienne, virale ou mycosique, une maladie de système, une ulcéra-tion aphteuse ou traumatique. Devant toute ulcération buccale chronique dont l'étiologie n'apparaît pas évidente, on doit penser à une tuberculose de la cavité buccale. Pour confirmer ce diagnostic, il faut réaliser un examen histopathologique, un examen bactériologique direct et une culture à partir de tissu frais ainsi que la recherche d'une tuberculose pulmonaire.Abstract -Oral cavity tuberculosis revealing pulmonary tuberculosis: a case report. Oral cavity tuberculosis is a rare entity generally secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. A case of palate tuberculosis revealing pulmonary tuberculosis in a 47 year-old patient is reported. Clinical manifestations of oral cavity tuberculosis are non-specific. The commonest presentation, a chronic ulcer, is suggestive of numerous conditions including malignancies, bacterial, viral or mycotic infections, traumatic or aphtous ulcers, and sarcoidosis. Tuberculosis should be thought as a potential aetiology of chronic ulcer of oral cavity. This diagnostic indicates histopathology, bacteriology, culture of the ulcer biopsy and the screening of pulmonary tuberculosis.La tuberculose, qui est considérée comme avant tout une affection pulmonaire, peut intéresser n'importe quelle autre partie du corps y compris la cavité buccale [1,2]. La localisation buccale est cependant rare, représentant moins de 1 % de l'ensemble des cas de tuberculose [3]. Elle est souvent secondaire à une tuberculose pulmonaire [1], une affection potentiellement contagieuse et mortelle.Cet article rapporte une ulcération palatine tuberculeuse révélant une tuberculose pulmonaire afin de sensibiliser au diagnostic de la localisation buccale de la tuberculose.
