“…Tubercular osteomyelitis of the mandible causes slow bone necrosis and sometimes involves the complete mandible. A small translucent area due to decalcification and blurring of trabecular details with irregular areas of radiolucency accounts for the first depictable change [9]. The bone is gradually replaced by soft tuberculous granulation tissue.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious granulomatous disease caused by the air-borne bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis and less frequently by other bacteria in the M. tuberculosis complex (Mycobacterium Bovis and Mycobacterium africanum). Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the condyle may present atypical clinical findings akin to temporomandibular joint arthritis or middle ear infections. A detailed clinical and radiographic examination aided by a histopathological and a microbiological diagnostic workup is the key to timely detection and administration of appropriate therapeutic regimens. A high degree of clinical suspicion is thus advocated in patients with such atypical presentations. We, hereby, are presenting a rare case of tuberculous osteomyelitis in a 15-year-old female child.

“…Radiologically, the findings are no specific to tuberculous osteomyelitis: erosion of cortical bone is gradually replaced by a sub-periosteal abscess responsible of the painful swelling [11]. However, they may lead to suspect this specific infection and to confirm the diagnosis by other investigations.…”

Background: Tuberculosis is a granulomatous infectious disease which is still being a real health problem in developing countries. Mainly, this specific infection affects pulmonary sites, but, the occurrence in extra-pulmonary sites is more and more reported. However, when extra-pulmonary tuberculosis affects the cervico-facial region, the cervical lymph nodes are the most involved. Aim: Throughout this case report, we put emphasis on keeping in mind of the possible tuberculous infection in a chronic lesion of mandible in children. Case presentation: In this article, we present a case of a 2-year-old child who was complaining of swelling of the right angle of the mandible. The computed tomography showed an osteolytic lesion suggesting tuberculous osteomyelitis but didn't rule out a bony malignant neoplasm of the mandible. The histological examination of biopsy of the lesion proved the tuberculous osteomyelitis of the mandible. The child has received anti-tubercular therapy for 9 months, and she marked a good recovery. Conclusion: In children, tuberculous osteomyelitis of the mandible is a curable disease without sequel when diagnosis is given at the right time.

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.
