| Abstrakt: | Tuberculosis of the cervix is reported to be very rare with clinical features that are indistinguishable from that of invasive cancer of the cervix. We report the case of a 31-year-old nulliparous lady that presented with intermenstrual bleeding and a persistent abnormal vaginal discharge after receiving several forms of treatment for cervical cancer. Vaginal examination revealed an extensive friable erythematous lesion affecting the entire ectocervix. Tuberculosis was confirmed following biopsy of the lesion, and the patient was successfully managed with a course of anti-tuberculosis medication. (Copyright © 2022 Nigerian Medical Association.) |
