The orofacial tissues may be affected by a wide range of granulomatous diseases. The lesions range from infections, immunological, and reactive, to foreign body granulomas. As is common knowledge, tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that can affect any region of the body, including the mouth. It may involve the tongue in the mouth and have quite peculiar features and forms. Therefore, while uncommon, oral lesions are crucial for the early detection and treatment of primary TB. We discuss a possible instance of gingival TB that manifested as an enlarged gingiva. The patient received a test dose of antituberculous therapy for one month. The antituberculous therapy was completed for the following five months after one month of treatment showed progress. This case report for dentists emphasizes how crucial it is to consider TB in the differential diagnosis of various types of gingival enlargements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_706_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]],"date-time":"2024-02-29T15:11:25Z","timestamp":1709219485000},"page":"S969-S971","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Diagnosis and Treatment of a Rare Case of Tubercular Gingival Enlargement"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Tanvi","family":"Phull","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxilofacial Surgery, Gian Sagar Dental College, Patiala, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harmesh","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Punjab Government Dental College and Hospital, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunidhi","family":"Gandhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Punjab Government Dental College and Hospital, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Divya","family":"Jyoti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Health Sciences (Periodontics), Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ritu","family":"Malhotra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, ITS Centre for Dental Studies and Research, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nandita","family":"Katha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Punjab Government Dental College and Hospital, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240829","first-page":"203","article-title":"Granulomatous diseases of the oral tissues: differential diagnosis and update","volume":"49","author":"Alawi","year":"2005","journal-title":"Dental Clinics"},{"key":"R2-20240829","first-page":"297","article-title":"Oral granulomatous lesions: A review","volume":"4","author":"Reddy","year":"2017","journal-title":"Sch J Dent Sci"},{"key":"R3-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"457","DOI":"10.1136\/pmj.76.898.457","article-title":"A clinicopathological classification of granulomatous disorders","volume":"76","author":"James","year":"2000","journal-title":"Postgrad Med J"},{"key":"R4-20240829","first-page":"657","article-title":"An update on granulomatous diseases of the oral tissues","volume":"57","author":"Alawi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Dent Clin"},{"key":"R5-20240829","first-page":"18","article-title":"Oral manifestations of tuberculosis: Step towards early diagnosis","volume":"8","author":"Jain","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Clin Diagn Res"},{"key":"R6-20240829","first-page":"2019","article-title":"Granulomatous diseases: Oral manifestations","volume":"3","author":"Khera","year":"2022","journal-title":"Ann Clin Med Res"},{"key":"R7-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.4103\/2278-344X.149268","article-title":"Primary isolated gingival tuberculosis: A rare case report","volume":"4","author":"Jhingta","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int J Health Allied Sci"},{"key":"R8-20240829","first-page":"434","article-title":"Oral manifestations of tuberculosis: the role of the dentist: Communique","volume":"70","author":"Khan","year":"2015","journal-title":"South Afr Dent J"}],"container-title":["Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_706_23","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T18:21:45Z","timestamp":1787768505000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_706_23"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,2]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl 1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_706_23","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-4879","0975-7406"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-4879","type":"print"},{"value":"0975-7406","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,2]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-08-20","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-08-29","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
