Abstract
Tuberculosis is chronic infectious disease and major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It can affect any part of body, including oral cavity. Oral lesions of tuberculosis, though uncommon, have been observed in both primary and secondary stages of disease. This article presents case of tuberculosis in oral mucosa and mandible in 45 years old female. Involvement of oral cavity in TB is quite rare. Oral lesions seem to occur as chronic ulcers, nodular or granular areas. Most extra-pulmonary lesions represent secondary infections of primary lung infectious focus; therefore, early and accurate diagnosis is required for planning of best treatment and strategies to control disease.
