Introduction:
Tuberculosis, considered a major global and public health challenge, not only manifests in the lungs but also affects other sites. Tuberculosis primarily occurring in the nose, poses a diagnostic challenge, as the clinical presentations of other important pathologies such as infective and inflammatory diseases, granulomatous disorders and neoplastic conditions are similar, have an indolent course and are non-specific. Moreover, due to its rarity, it is often missed and not considered in differential diagnosis. It is hence felt that a series of three cases of Primary Nasal Tuberculosis, conclusively diagnosed within a year, merits reporting
Case reports:
A series of 03 cases, presented with complaints of nasal obstruction, crusting in nasal cavity, intermittent epistaxis, conclusively diagnosed as a case of primary nasal tuberculosis
Conclusion:
Primary nasal tuberculosis is rare. One should have a high index of suspicion in patients living in endemic areas not responding to routine treatment and presenting with nasal mass and crusting
