dc.description.abstractTuberculous infection of the upper respiratory tract is an uncommon clinical condition and in that nasopharyngeal involvement is struck with rarity per se. This condition is often prevalent in people of low socioeconomic strata living in endemic areas, especially in developing countries. It has a silent and indolent course and most commonly mimicks nasopharyngeal carcinoma in its clinical presentation. In absence of concurrent pulmonary involvement, it is often misdiagnosed or diagnosed only after the biopsy has been taken. Nevertheless, high index of suspicion is required on part of the clinician to diagnose this comparatively rare entity.en_US
