Tuberculous osteomyelitis of mandible is an extremely rare condition, particularly in comparison to pyogenic infections and neoplastic diseases involving the mandible. Hereby we are reporting such type of case in a ten year old male, presented with draining sinus over right mandible since 3 months proved later as tuberculous osteomyelitis in absence of a primary focus and responded well to antitubercular treatment.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2017) Vol.05 No.01 Issue 15, Page: 59-62
