The authors report two cases of nasopharynx tuberculosis. This location is rare or misestimated. The sarcoidosis, the Wegener's granulomatis can be discussed. The diagnosis confirmation is based on the histologic features as a caseous necrosis in a langhans reaction cells or as the presence of mycobacterium tuberculosis at a Ziehl-Nielson coloration. The authors insist on the interest of a systematic biopsy of the nasopharynx at the presence of a nasopharynx lesion or a primitive cervical lymph-nodes. A bacteriologic investigation have to be done before the beginning of the specific treatment.
