Abstract
We describe a primary rhinopharyngeal tuberculosis case in a woman who presented with an asymptomatic mass found incidentally on a MRI scan. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen showed granulomatous inflammation and caseous necrosis. Anti-tuberculosis therapy was applied for a 6-month period, after which nasopharyngeal examination was normal. This case supports the necessity of including tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis for a rhinopharyngeal mass.Entities:
