A 35-year-old male who had been examined at the University Hospital because of a sore throat and otalgia was found to have a tumorous lesion in the nasopharynx.
Biopsy of the lesion indicated a lupoid change due to tuberculosis of the nasopharynx.
The patient was free from tuberculous lesions at any other site, thus the nasopharyngeal disease appeared to be the primary. The lesion was cured by administering routine antituberculous therapy. The authors report the details of the case together with a review of the literature on such lesions.
