Abstract
The article describes a rare localization of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in the form of a unilateral lesion of the middle ear in a 47-year-old woman without immunodeficiency, but having a history of pulmonary tuberculosis with residual changes. Sluggish middle purulent otitis media in the patient for 1.5 years was regarded as nonspecific, and only surgical intervention with histological examination of the surgical material made it possible to establish a tuberculous etiology of the process.

Summary
Sluggish middle purulent otitis media in the patient for 1.5 years was regarded as nonspecific, and only surgical intervention with histological examination of the surgical material made it possible to establish a tuberculous etiology of the process. Туберкулезный средний отит представляет собой редкую форму хронического среднего отита и внелегочного туберкулеза. Туберкулезный средний отит часто развивается, когда в организме уже имеются другие очаги туберкулеза (у взрослых в легких, у детей в лимфатических узлах). Реже туберкулезный отит является первой клинической манифестацией туберкулезного процесса и единственной выявленной его локализацией.
