“…La tuberculose secondaire affecte plus fréquemment les personnes âgées. Elle est géné-ralement secondaire aux lésions pulmonaires et coexiste avec celles-ci [16,17]. Dans la TB buccale secondaire, on décrit deux voies de contamination : directe (produits d'expectoration infectés) et hématogène.…”

Résumé -La tuberculose est une maladie contagieuse en recrudescence et sa prévalence est en France de 8,2 pour 100 000 habitants. Les manifestations buccales de la tuberculose sont rares (incidence de 1,4 %) et touchent le plus souvent la langue. Un nouveau cas d'atteinte linguale, entrainant une dysphagie à l'origine du diagnostic d'une tuberculose pulmonaire, est rapporté chez un patient de 48 ans. Les lésions buccales de tuberculose sont généralement secondaires à une localisation pulmonaire (environ 80 % des cas). L'aspect clinique le plus souvent décrit est une ulcération douloureuse avec des bords irréguliers, une base légèrement indurée et jaunâtre. Le diagnostic de tuberculose linguale doit être évoqué lorsqu'il existe une ulcération linguale dans un contexte de tuberculose déjà connue. Lorsque l'ulcération est isolée, le diagnostic de tuberculose repose sur la biopsie. Dans le cas clinique présenté, c'est le contexte général qui a orienté le diagnostic, la biopsie étant non spécifique.Abstract -Lingual ulceration and dysphagia behind the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease on the rise with a prevalence in France of 8.2 per 100 000 inhabitants. The oral manifestations in tuberculosis are rare (incidence of 1.4%) most often affecting the tongue. A new case of lingual infringement in connection with dysphagia and ulceration behind the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is reported in a 48 yearold patient. Oral lesions of tuberculosis are usually secondary to pulmonary location (about 80% of cases). The clinical appearance is often described as a painful ulceration with irregular borders, a base slightly indurated and yellowish.

“…About 32% of the global population is infected with TB and an estimated 2 million people die annually from this treatable disease [37]. The launch of the directly observed treatment short-course strategy by the World Health Organization was expected to substantially curb the incidence of TB [38].…”

One of the most common form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is peripheral tuberculous lymphadenitis and accounts for 20-40% of the cases. Tuberculous lymphadenitis has a gender and age predilection (usually seen in young females). It is usually bilateral in presentation and is noncontagious. Recent upsurge in HIV coinfection has challenged the diagnosis and management of TB and of associated lymphadenopathy. In the endemic areas, tuberculous lymphadenitis remains an important and essential differential diagnosis in patients presenting with cervical swellings. A timely and accurate diagnosis is mandatory to overcome this public health threat. Interdisciplinary involvement of varied medical and dental professionals enhances the possibility of an effective and timely diagnosis of this condition.

“…The risk of extrapulmonary tuberculosis increases with advanced usage of immune-suppressants -as in case of cancer patients, and where body"s own immune system is suppressed as in the case of HIV infection. Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is associated with visceral lymphadenopathy, tissue abscesses, and negative tuberculin skin test [19][20][21] .…”
