The upper respiratory tract is an unusual site for tuberculous infection. Most of the cases are secondary to active pulmonary tuberculosis. We present thirty five cases of tuberculosis localize in the head and neck region. There were twelve patients with lymphonodular tuberculosis, eleven patients with laryngeal tuberculosis, six patients with oral and pharyngeal tuberculosis, three patients with partoid gland tuberculosis, two patients with nose and paranasal sinuses tuberculosis and one patient with middle ear tuberculosis.
