“…Among the bones of maxillofacial region, tuberculous osteomyelitis may affect the mandibular body, angle, ramus, condyle and very rarely maxilla. It has a male predisposition with more than 60% cases occurring below the age of 15 [5]. Almost 10-50% of EPTB patients show pulmonary involvement [4], therefore, all cases of TB osteomyelitis should be screened for the same.…”

“…TB osteomyelitis generally presents as swelling, pain, loosening of teeth and draining sinuses like a tooth abscess. Radiographic features are similar to chronic suppurative osteomyelitis i.e., diffuse radiolucency and altered trabecular pattern [1,[3][4][5]. Other maxillofacial manifestations of TB include an ulcer, granulomas, involvement of salivary glands and temporomandibular joint, and tuberculous lymphadenitis [6].…”

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) affects 8 million new people every year, with developing countries under its strong clout. Although tuberculosis can affect any part of the body involving both soft and hard tissues; such an occurrence in the maxillofacial bones in the form of tuberculous osteomyelitis is relatively rare. Due to the rarity of the lesion and lack of sufficient documentation, its incidence can be expected to be more than what has been reported so far. Observation: So, here is a case of a 21-year-old male who presented with pain and swelling on the mandible, diagnosed as tuberculous osteomyelitis after an initial diagnosis of dentoalveolar abscess. Conclusion: As dentists and as oral medicine practitioners, it is of utmost importance for us to be aware about uncommon diseases affecting the jaws such as tuberculous osteomyelitis, which tend to mimic dental infections in some cases to prevent misdiagnosis and provide holistic care to the patient.

“…Sheikh et al reported a case that presented a sudden onset of dull pain at the temporomandibular joint associated with reduced mouth opening [10]. The most-reported presentation is a progressive swelling of the cheek adjacent to the mandible [3] [4] [6].…”

“…In 2019, 2081 pediatric cases of tuberculosis were recorded in Morocco, and in contrast, extrapulmonary tuberculosis was more notified (81% of these cases): lymph nodes sites were more frequent (45% of cases) among this population under 15-year-old [2]. However, the tuberculous osteomyelitis is a very rare entity occurring most commonly in vertebras and long bones, and the occurrence in the mandible is exceptional [3]. Mandible involvement usually affects older individuals, and in pediatric population, the spread of infection may be through a mucosal opening associated with an erupting tooth or by regional extractions of soft tissue lesions to underlying bone or hematogenous spread [4].…”

Background: Tuberculosis is a granulomatous infectious disease which is still being a real health problem in developing countries. Mainly, this specific infection affects pulmonary sites, but, the occurrence in extra-pulmonary sites is more and more reported. However, when extra-pulmonary tuberculosis affects the cervico-facial region, the cervical lymph nodes are the most involved. Aim: Throughout this case report, we put emphasis on keeping in mind of the possible tuberculous infection in a chronic lesion of mandible in children. Case presentation: In this article, we present a case of a 2-year-old child who was complaining of swelling of the right angle of the mandible. The computed tomography showed an osteolytic lesion suggesting tuberculous osteomyelitis but didn't rule out a bony malignant neoplasm of the mandible. The histological examination of biopsy of the lesion proved the tuberculous osteomyelitis of the mandible. The child has received anti-tubercular therapy for 9 months, and she marked a good recovery. Conclusion: In children, tuberculous osteomyelitis of the mandible is a curable disease without sequel when diagnosis is given at the right time.

“…8 According to chapotel, more than 60% cases of tubercular osteomyelitis of the mandible are seen in younger ages but ulcer seen in old age as well. 9 As the mandible contains less cancellous bone the chances of involvement of the mandible is rare in comparison to maxilla except the alveolar and angle regions have greater affinity. 10 Oral tuberculosis may manifest in the form of swelling, pain, loosening of teeth, displacement of tooth buds, ulcer, granulomas, involvement of salivary glands and temporomandibular joint, and tuberculous lymphadenitis.…”

Tubercular osteomyelitis of the maxilla & mandible was earlier considered as a rare disease but the incidence is on the rise with isolated presentation in the jaws. The rarity of the disease in the jaws usually has clinical doubt especially when the positive history of systemic infection was present. Early diagnosis of tubercular osteomyelitis will certainly reduce the morbidity of disease condition. Hereby we report two cases of tubercular osteomyelitis of maxilla & mandible. Case 1: A male patient of 19 year old of tubercular osteomyelitis was referred for medical management & 2 nd male patient of 58 year old who presented with a non-healing socket since 1 month. He was treated with surgical intervention & anti-tubercular drugs.
