Tubercular pansinusitis presenting as a nasal polyp.

Tuberculosis of the paranasal sinuses is an uncommon presentation. We present a case of a 16 year old female who presented with a polypoidal nasal mass and symptoms consistent with chronic sinusitis. The computerized tomography scan of the paranasal sinuses was consistent with pansinusitis and sinonasal polyp. The polyp was excised and the histopathological evaluation of the surgically removed tissue revealed it to be tuberculous. The patient responded to four drug anti-tuberculous treatment.
