Incidental finding of isolated uterine cervix tuberculosis with successful management: A case report

Uterine cervix is an uncommon genital location for tuberculosis. There are no macroscopic changes in the cervix that are specific for TB and it can mimic cervical cancer clinically. A definitive diagnosis of TB requires isolation of tubercle bacilli. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with non-specific lower genital tract complaints. Close collaborations between clinicians and diagnosticians is essential in accurately diagnosing and managing this rare condition.

Abstract

Uterine cervix is an uncommon genital location for tuberculosis. There are no macroscopic changes in the cervix that are specific for TB and it can mimic cervical cancer clinically. A definitive diagnosis of TB requires isolation of tubercle bacilli. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with non-specific lower genital tract complaints. Close collaborations between clinicians and diagnosticians is essential in accurately diagnosing and managing this rare condition.
