Oral lesions of tuberculosis though uncommon, are seen in both the primary and secondary stages of the disease. In secondary tuberculosis, the oral manifestations may be accompanied by lesions in the lungs, lymph nodes, or in any other part of the body and can be detected by a systemic examination. Primary oral tuberculosis may present as a diagnostic challenge for the clinician. Here we report two patients with primary tuberculosis in the oral cavity who presented to the dental department, were diagnosed and referred for medical management.
口腔结核病变虽不常见，但在疾病的原发和继发阶段均可出现。在继发性结核中，口腔表现可能伴有肺部、淋巴结或身体其他任何部位的病变，可通过全身检查发现。原发性口腔结核可能给临床医生带来诊断挑战。在此，我们报告两名口腔原发性结核患者，他们到牙科就诊，经诊断后转诊接受药物治疗。
