Core Tip	The emergence of highly drug resistant (DR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis and human immu-nodeficiency virus epidemic has paved the way for resurgence of tuberculosis (TB). Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), accounts for a significant pro-portion of all notified TB cases, is a persistent global health issue. Although DR-EPTB is uncommon, but the increasing rate of DR-pulmonary TB around the world has heightened our concern for DR-EPTB too. Unfortunately, systematic surveillance data on DR-EPTB is lacking, however, sporadic information from different countries has begun to accumulate. Here, we aim to provide current understanding on epidemiological scenario of DR-EPTB and also to address some of the key challenges associated with diagnosis, control and management of DR-EPTB.
