Abstract

Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is a rare condition and, sometimes, associated with a cervical lymphadenopathy. The authors report a case of an isolated nasopharyngeal tuberculosis in a 69-year-old female with otological symptoms. The case is remarkable because of its coming in a non-endemic zone for the tuberculosis, and because of its probable persistence by many years.
