Abstract
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Oral tuberculosis is a rare entity. It is commonly a sign of progressive tuberculosis which is disseminated from the lung. There are many forms of oral presentations, including chronic ulceration, swelling, non-healing extraction sockets and areas of mucosal granularity. Sites of oral involvement are tongue, gingiva, lips, buccal mucosa, hard and soft palatal mucosa. In addition, bony involvement can be occurred. Tuberculosis is a life-threatening infectious disease which has a high risk of mortality if the appropriated diagnosis and treatment are not indicated. Thoroughly history taking and physical examination, chest radiography, histopathologic examination and other laboratory investigations can lead to the correct diagnosis.
