Özet
Objective: To investigate clinical manifestations and treatment protocols of the patients with head and neck tuberculosis. Material and Method: Records of 16 patients with cervical lymphadenitis and tuberculosis in other sides of head and neck investigated, retrospectively. The age, gender, clinical, histopathological diagnosis and treatment protocols were noted. Nodal or total excisions were performed and all patients diagnosed histopathologically. Patients diagnosed as tuberculosis underwent antituberculosis treatment protocol. Results:Mean age of our patients were 43.6±14.7 (18-72 years old). Fifteen of 16 patients were women. The diagnoses were cervical lymphadenitis in 13 (81.25%) patients, lower lip tuberculosis in 1 (%6.25) patient, nasopharynx tuberculosis in 1 (%6.25) patient and larynx tuberculosis in 1 (%6.25) patient. After the treatment masses were disappeared. Conclusion: Tuberculosis should not be forgotten in the differential diagnosis on head and neck masses. Although tuberculosis usually occur as cervical lymphadenitis in head and neck, lip, nasopharynx and larynx can be involved rarely. © 2012 Düzce Medical Journal.
