<p>Tuberculosis (TB) , one of the three major infectious diseases, is caused by the tubercle bacillus and has received attention as a re-emerging disease in recent years. Even now, approximately 20,000 people fall ill with TB every year in Japan.</p><p> We report the case of a 77-year-old man with tongue cancer accompanied by tuberculous spondylitis. Multiple bone metastases to thoracic and lumbar vertebrae were initially suspected from a preoperative examination for tongue cancer. Vertebral biopsy revealed positive tubercle bacillus DNA, and tuberculous spondylitis was finally diagnosed in the vertebral body lesion. The patient has been followed up for 1 year 2 months after surgery without the development of tuberculosis, cancer recurrence, or metastasis.</p>
