ABSTRACT
Tonsillar tuberculosis is uncommon and is almost secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. Primary tonsillar tuberculosis is very rare, especially in children. The incidence of tuberculosis has been greatly reduced with chemotherapy, although it has not been eradicated. Recently, we experienced one case of pediatric primary tonsillar tuberculosis of left palatine tonsil. It was diagnosed pathologically after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. The purpose of this report is to point out that primary tonsillar tuberculosis still exists and to draw attention to the differential diagnosis in children.
