RESUMEN
Pharyngeal tuberculosis is rare and usually occurs in association with primary pulmonary disease. Primary tuberculosis involving the palatine tonsils and the posterior oropharyngeal wall is still a rare clinical entity. We report one such case of primary tuberculosis involving both the palatine tonsils and the posterior oropharyngeal wall in a 22 year-old male. The patient responded to anti-tubercular treatment with complete disappearance of lesion and no sign of recurrence on one year follow-up. The final diagnosis was based upon histopathological report.
