Abstract
Tuberculosis is a hot topic and has seen an
upsurge since 1986 despite efforts to eradicate it. Developed countries are now
concerned with the emergence of HIV infection and the emergence of
multi-resistant bacillary strains. The localization to the upper airways
remains rare. Cavum tuberculosis is uncommon and its association with nasosinus
tuberculosis localization is rare. It is characterized by a clinical
presentation which immediately brings to mind malignant tumor pathology. The
diagnosis is based on anatomopathological examination. The treatment is mainly
medical based on anti-bacillary. We report a rare case of a cavum and nasosinus
tuberculosis combination, whose histology was in favor of pseudo-tumor case
follicular tuberculosis.
