Tonsillar Tuberculosis Simulating Cancer: A Case Report.

Tuberculosis is still considered a cause of death, especially in developing countries. Primary tonsillar tuberculosis in the absence of pulmonary tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient is a rare entity. Its diagnosis is difficult because it simulates tonsillar cancer, and histopathological examination is often needed for confirmation.

We report the case of a 25-year-old patient referred for deep asthenia with fever, sweating and weight loss, all associated with dysphagia and hearing loss.
