    Abstract:
    Pharyngeal tuberculosis is very rare and normally appears as an seemingly malignant process. As a result of which it is essential to perform a differential diagnosis before beginning anticancer treatment. We present a clinical case of lingual tonsil tuberculosis. A review is made of the pathogenic mechanisms, the clinical manifestations and the diagnosis of pharyngeal tuberculosis, whose response to treatment with antituberculous drugs proves to be excellent.
