    Abstract:
    The authors report a series of 37 cases presenting with tuberculosis of the mucosa of the upper naso-pharynx. The localization broke down as: 5 cases of tuberculosis of naso-sinuses, 6 of the buccal cavity, 3 of the cavum, 10 of the oro-pharynx, 1 of the hypopharynx, and 12 of the larynx. -- The male-female ratio was unequal (2:1 M:F) -- The mean age was 52.5 years -- Most patients were European. The 3 rhinopharyngeal cases were in North Africans. -- Macroscopically the lesions were of a malignant character in 70%. -- There was palpable lymphadenopathy in 56% of patients. The most commonly involved chain was the jugulo-carotid, especially the subdigastric group. -- There was tuberculosis in the entourage in 20/37 cases. CXR was normal in 17 cases. On hospitalisation active T.b. was discovered in 15 cases. -- Biopsy confirmed a definitive diagnosis in every case. -- All patients were treated medically. There were no cases of resistant organisms. The results were excellent.
