The detail clinical profile, diagnosis, treatment and outcome were studied in these patients.
Results : Out of the six cases of primary sinonasal tuberculosis, four cases were female and two were male.
The mean age during the time of diagnosis was 35 years (16–67 years).
The most common clinical presentations were chronic nasal obstruction, epistaxis and ulcerations at the nasal vestibule and nasal cavity.
Diagnosis was confirmed by Histopathological diagnosis in all six cases.
All cases received antitubercular therapy for 6–9 months.
All six patients successfully responded to antitubercular therapy.
