title: [Tuberculosis of the tongue--case report].
abstract: The case of 56-year-old male with disseminated lesions in the lungs and ulcerations of the tongue is presented. Pathomorphological examination of the tongue ulcerations showed changes typical for tuberculosis. Cultures of 4 specimens of the sputum revealed the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Antituberculotic drugs (INH, RMP, EMB, PZA) were administered. Complete remission of the tongue ulcerations and partial remission of the lesions in the lungs were observed after 6 weeks of the treatment.
