Abstract

Oral tuberculosis (TB), a chronic inammatory disease, can manifest as oral ulceration and mucosal erythema. This article presents a case of an oral ulcer on the right side's palatal area. Clinicians must be aware of TB while assessing a differential diagnosis for oral ulcers. A delayed diagnosis might have serious consequences for the patient.
