Resumen

La tuberculosis nasal primaria es la afectación exclusiva nasal de la infección por el Micobacterium tuberculosis. La puerta de entrada es nasal ante el fracaso de las barreras defensivas nasales. Es muy infrecuente y variable clínicamente pudiendo confundirse con enfermedades granulomatosas nasales y con procesos neoplásicos, por lo que es importante la sospecha clínica y el diagnóstico diferencial. Su tratamiento es la misma quimioterapia antituberculosa que en la forma clásica pulmonar siendo excelente la respuesta al tratamiento

Abstract

Nasal tuberculosis represents a rare manifestation of infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Clinically, it appeared to resemble cancer presenting as a nasopharyngeal mass with concomitant enlarged limph nodes. It is important to consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of all nasopharyngeal lesions and take biopsy samples for histological and bacteriological studies. Antituberculosis treatment is satisfactory with standard anti-tuberculous chemotherapy. Although this is a rare finding, it should be considered when a patient presents with nasal obstruction

Key words:
