Two Cases of Primary Nasopharyngeal Tuberculosis.

Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis can arise from both a primary infection and a secondary spread via the lymphatic or hematogenous system from a primary pulmonary lesion. Primary nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is rare and difficult to detect earlier because of the nonspecific presentations of the disease. As upper airway tuberculosis can be contagious, early initial diagnosis and suspicion of the physicians are needed in clinical practice. Recently, we successfully diagnosed and treated the disease by antitubercular medications of two cases of primary nasopharyngeal tuberculosis. Herein, we report our experience with a literature review.
