[Primary nasal tuberculosis].
Nasal tuberculosis is a rare entity since it early diagnosis and the improvements in treatment. The mucous membrane of the nose is scanty auspicious for this pathology in spite of being an important entrance door for Koch's bacillus. We report one case of nasal tuberculosis without other primary focal point and emphasize the importance of biopsy and the histo-pathological study in order to reach the positive diagnosis and the healing "ad integrum" by means of suitable antibiotic drugs.
