Tuberculosis is an important public health problem in developing countries. Although tuberculosis is commonly found in lungs, it could be found in lymph nodes, mouth, tonsils, tongue, larynx and pharynx. Since there is no specific finding of pulmonary tuberculosis, detailed investigations are required in patients admitted with the symptoms of a neck mass.
