摘要：

Tuberculosis (TB) typically attacks the lungs. The oral lesions either primary or secondary are rarely seen and often overlooked by the clinician. More so, their atypical presentations make the diagnosis challenging; especially when they are present before the systemic symptoms become apparent. We report a case of primary tuberculosis in a 4 year old female child in a very uncommon location, the cheek The timely diagnosis and antitubercular therapy resulted in complete resolution of the swelling within 6 months.
