- Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health problem, and in the South-East Asia Region, 15% are extra-pulmonary TB (EPTB). The occurrence of EPTB in the upper airway, tonsil and the parotid gland is a rare finding. Moreover, EPTB in these regions would present mimicking symptoms as common ENT cases. The authors found three cases of EPTB at the department of ENT-Otolaryngology, West Nusa Tenggara General Hospital. Patients presented with non TB specific symptoms, with no indications of being immunocompromised. However, after further examinations, the authors concluded the findings of EPTB.
