Core Tip	Primary nasal tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), particularly in patients receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor immunotherapy. The nasal cavity is most commonly involved; most infections involve the nasal septum and/or the inferior turbinate. We should remain vigilant for primary nasal TB in patients treated with tumor necrosis factor antagonists if the nasal mucosa of the nasal septum or the inferior turbinate demonstrates thickening or crusting, particularly when pathological findings suggest granulomatous inflammation. For suspected cases, repeated biopsies may enhance the identification of acid-fast bacilli.
