Primary Tuberculous osteomyelitis involving the mandible represents less than 2% of skeletal locations. In this paper, we report a case of mandibular tuberculosis detected after histopathological analysis of the surgically resected specimen during surgical management of a suspected case of ameloblastoma. A 14 -year-old male patient presented to us with history of right sided chin swelling. The clinical examination revealed a swelling, involving right body and parasymphysis of mandible, measuring approximately 6cm in length and 2cm in width, extending from right lateral incisor till the first molar. Radiological scans revealed a large multiloculated osteolytic expansive lesion measuring 52 x 20 x18 mm. Excision of the lesion was performed and reconstruction was done with iliac bone grafting. The histopathological findings revealed a granulomatous lesion, suggestive of tuberculous osteomyelitis. The patient was successfully treated with standard multidrug therapy. One year after completion of therapy, there were no signs of recurrence. Primary mandibular tuberculosis is an extremely rare entity. Its clinical presentation is not specific. Radiologically, tuberculosis has no characteristic appearance. The positive diagnosis is based on histology. Primary mandibular tuberculosis is rare and should be kept amongst differential diagnoses in susceptible population and in endemic areas.

Tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous bacterial infection caused most commonly by Mycobacterium species. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) of the mandibular condyle is rare and presents with alteration of the condylar morphology along with extra-oral swelling. EPTB can either be a primary or a secondary source of infection i.e. disseminated from other organs. We represent a case of a 7 -year-old male with EPTB of the mandibular condyle causing osteomyelitis with uneventful healing. Ill-defined radiolucency of the mandibular condyle on radiographs should include tuberculosis as a differential diagnosis.

“…"In primary oral tubercular lesions, there is no pulmonary involvement thus making the diagnosis very difficult. Osteomyelitis of the mandible due to tuberculosis is a rare phenomenon observed in <2% of skeletal TB" [3,4]. In literature, there are no clinical or radiological signs pathognomonic for diagnosis of tubercular osteomyelitis of the mandible.…”

Aims: To report a case of Tuberculous osteomyelitis of mandible in a young child and highlights the difficulties in establishing diagnosis with clinical and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging findings. Presentation of Case: A case of 8-year old child with osteomyelitis of the mandible who presented with diffuse swelling of the cheek without the evidence of any active primary foci of tuberculosis. On the basis of clinical findings and radiographic analysis, antitubercular therapy (ATT) was started and on a follow-up visit after six months, the patient showed a resolution of the mandibular lesion. Discussion: In the oral cavity osteomyelitis commonly occurs due to an odontogenic source of infection. Tuberculosis (TB) is a worldwide public health problem, osteomyelitis due to tuberculosis infection is a rare phenomenon and jaw involvement is even rarer and usually affects older individuals. Conclusion: Tubercular osteomyelitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis because early identification and rapid implementation of a successful regimen are crucial in minimizing morbidity and the emergence of tuberculosis.
