“…In majority of cases,single biopsy may not suffice because granulomatous changes may not be evident in early lesions. 10 In present case we discussed here illustrative case of tuberculous osteomyelitis, its diagnosis, management and its manifestation in maxillofacial region, here Cone Beam Computed tomography (CBCT) was used to explore third dimension of the lesion to diagnose the destructive extent of the lesion.…”

Tuberculosis is chronic infectious disease and major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It can affect any part of body, including oral cavity. Oral lesions of tuberculosis, though uncommon, have been observed in both primary and secondary stages of disease. This article presents case of tuberculosis in oral mucosa and mandible in 45 years old female. Involvement of oral cavity in TB is quite rare. Oral lesions seem to occur as chronic ulcers, nodular or granular areas. Most extra-pulmonary lesions represent secondary infections of primary lung infectious focus; therefore, early and accurate diagnosis is required for planning of best treatment and strategies to control disease.

Maxillary osteomyelitis is a relatively rare presentation. This condition is more often associated with underlying immunocompromised systemic conditions. Thorough clinical examination coupled with meticulous investigative protocol is needed to prevent the dreaded complications associated with the disease. With the emergence of new antibiotics and the use of advanced imaging modalities, the management of such patients has been better over the recent years. Oral physicians play a major role by providing primary care in the early diagnosis of such lesions, especially in immunocompromised patients, thereby improving the patient’s quality of life. The present report highlights an atypical presentation of maxillary osteomyelitis in a newly diagnosed diabetic patient, with the importance of appropriate diagnostic workup, and prompt institution of treatment resulting in complete recovery.
