Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a granulomatous infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can be pulmonary as well as extrapulmonary. Tubercular osteomyelitis accounts for about 10% of all cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. We present a case of a 40-year-old female with pain and swelling developing after a slap by her husband. The swelling was investigated including a biopsy and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of tubercular osteomyelitis of the mandibular condyle.
