39 cases of ENT tuberculosis diagnosed in the last 15 years are studied. We review the annual incidence, the distribution by age and sex and the different found localization: oropharyngeal, laryngeal cervical ganglionar, salivary and otical ones. We analyse the concomitance with tuberculous pulmonary lesions and the results of diagnostic explorations: Mantoux, bacilloscopy and biopsy. We discuss the method, diagnostic difficulties, therapeutic behaviour and the consequences of misdiagnosis.
