Abstrakt: Tubereulosis of the cervix is very uncommon. Most cases are secondary infections, which are derived from primary foci elsewhere in the body. The literature on this subject has been partially reviewed. There are probably 300 cases which have been reported in the literature; of these, not more than 35 are primary tuberculous infections of the cervix. Biopsy is the only accurate method of diagnosing this lesion and of distinguishing it from cervical inflammations and carcinomas. Proper treatment appears usually to demand radical surgical procedures so as to insure the highest percentage of permanent cures. The only proved case of this disease which we have been able to find in our records is briefly reported.
