RESUMO

We present three cases of oral mucosal lesions caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients treated with anti-tumour necrosis factor-α for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosis of oral mucosal tuberculosis was not easily established in any of the cases. A comparison between these cases and other previously described forms of oral mucosal tuberculosis is presented.
