title: Subcutaneous granuloma of the cheek an unusual case report and review of literature.
abstract: With the increase in prevalence of extra pulmonary tuberculosis, it has become imperative for clinicians to review their knowledge of unusual presentations of mycobacterial infections. Tuberculous involvement of the subcutaneous tissue and skeletal muscle is rare. Apart from tuberculous lymphadenitis, diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis may be difficult. We present here a case of tuberculous granuloma of the cheek - an unusual presentation in ENT practice.
