Oral kavite tüberkülozu: Bir olgu sunumu

Kutanöz tüberkülozun oldukça nadir bir formu olan orifisiyai tüberküloz, kutanöz tüberküloz olguları arasında % 2, tüberküloza ait tüm klinik formlar arasında ise %0.1 ile % 1 oranında görülür. Primer oral tüberküloz lezyonları bölgesel lenfadenopati ile birlikte ağrısız ülserler şeklinde ve gençlerde meydana gelirken, sekonder formlar her yaşta görülebilir ve genellikle de akciğer tüberkülozu ile birliktedir. Burada 3 yıldır alt dudağındaki iyileşmeyen ülsere lezyona tanı konamamış 29 yaşındaki erkek hastadaki miliyer yayılım gösteren akciğer tüberkülozu ve sekonder oral kavite tüberkülozu güncel literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak, iyileşmeyen oral lezyonlarm ayırıcı tanısında oral kavite tüberkülozu akılda tutulmalı ve altta yatan bir akciğer tüberkülozunun varlığı araştırılmalıdır.
