Pharyngeal localizations of tuberculosis have become rare since the advent of modern anti-tuberculosis drugs and anti-bacillary vaccination, hypopharynx tuberculosis is the rarest localization of the pharynx, however it is still current in endemic countries, especially in Asia and Africa. They pose a problem of differential diagnosis with cancers. We report a rare case with primary involvement of pyriform sinus due to tuberculosis in a 54-year-old men who presented for 3 months a submandibular lymphadenopathy is reported. There were no clinical or radiological pulmonary findings. The aim of our observation is to draw the practitioner's attention to this pathology as well as the problems of differential diagnosis with hypopharyngeal cancers.
