“…Diagnosis was established on biopsy and subsequent ZiehlNielsen (ZN) staining of nasal swabs and tuberculin skin test. Later chest X-ray examination was suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis, which was the primary cause [Sanehi et al 2008]. …”

Before discussing the epidemiology of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) and particularly urogenital tuberculosis (UGTB), unification of the terminology is necessary. The term 'urogenital tuberculosis' is preferable to 'genitourinary tuberculosis', as renal and urinary tract tuberculosis is more common than genital tuberculosis. Some understand the term 'extrapulmonary tuberculosis' as a specific tuberculosis (TB) lesion of all organs excluding the bronchus, lungs, pleura and intrathoracic bronchopulmonary lymph nodes, but others consider pleural TB as one form of EPTB - and it is a reason for very different proportions in the spectrum of EPTB. Enigmatic tendencies have also been revealed in patients' distribution - in neighbouring regions the incidence rate may differ significantly. Although there is no clear explanation for these tendencies, careful study of the epidemiology of EPTB in different conditions will improve early diagnosis.

Tuberculosis of paranasal sinuses is very rare. It is usually secondary to pulmonary Tuberculosis. Among the Paranasal sinuses, maxillary sinus is the most common to be involved by tuberculosis. Frontal sinus Tuberculosis is very rarely seen. We report a case of extra-pulmonary Tuberculosis of frontal sinus presenting as mucocele in a 40 year old female who presented with a painless swelling. Computed Tomographic scan of Paranasal Sinuses revealed it to be a mucocele but Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology clinched the diagnosis. It was managed conservatively by Anti Tubercular Treatment.SAARC J TUBER LUNG DIS HIV/AIDS, 2017; XIV(1), page: 46-48

“…The common presenting symptoms are nasal discharge, nasal blockage, epistaxis, reduced sense of smell, and occasional headache. 9 Headaches may occur with invasion of the sinuses and extension to cranial cavity. 10,11 As most of the rhinology headaches are due to acute sinusitis compared with chronic sinusitis, high index of suspicion is the only way to diagnose.…”

“…High suspicion of the entity, Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining of the nasal discharge, X-ray chest, polymer chain reaction of discharge, and histopathology of tissue from nose or sinuses is the only way to diagnose it. 9 Caseous necrosis is not a characteristic feature but helps rule out differential diagnosis which present with noncaseating granulomas, e.g., Wegener's granulomatosis or sarcoidosis.…”
