Primary tonsillar tuberculosis is an uncommon entity. Case presentation: In this survey, we describe the case of a 18-year-old woman with cachexia, fever, a sore throat, and neck lymphadenopathy, with normal laboratory testresults. A pathological examination revealed a caseation granuloma. Based on this finding,anti-TB drugs were prescribed. The patient’s symptoms resolved following the treatment. Conclusion: Primary tonsillar TB accounts for less than 0.5% of TB cases and is,therefore, a diagnostic challenge.
