Abstract

Tuberculosis of the gingiva is a rare condition and can present as unusual lesions, which can create a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a case report of a nine-year-old boy who presented with gingival ulcers. The patient did not show any signs or evidence of systemic disease elsewhere in his body. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of gingival tuberculosis, and he was referred for appropriate anti-tuberculous therapy.
