Tuberculosis, as known universally, is a chronic infectious disease that can affect any part of the body including mouth. It usually affects the lungs, TB bacilli can spread hematogenously to other parts of the body and this also includes mandible or maxilla. It can occur in the mouth involving the tongue with very unusual features and forms. So oral lesions, although rare, are very important for early diagnosis and interception of primary tuberculosis.
众所周知，结核病是一种慢性传染病，可累及身体的任何部位，包括口腔。它通常影响肺部，结核杆菌可通过血液传播至身体的其他部位，这也包括下颌骨或上颌骨。它可发生于口腔，累及舌头，具有非常不寻常的特征和形式。因此，口腔病变虽然罕见，但对于原发性结核病的早期诊断和阻断非常重要。
