Tuberculosis (TB) of the cervix is a rare disease, especially in developed countries. We presented a patient with primary TB of the cervix with no concurrent immune deficiency or HIV infections. The case clinically mimicked carcinoma of the cervix. Difficulties in diagnosis have been discussed. Given the recent increase in migration patterns including travel from TB endemic areas, an abnormal-looking cervix should be regarded with a degree of suspicion for TB.
宫颈结核是一种罕见疾病,在发达国家尤为如此。我们报告了一例原发性宫颈结核患者,该患者无并发免疫缺陷或HIV感染。该病例在临床上酷似宫颈癌。文中讨论了诊断方面的困难。鉴于包括来自结核病流行地区的旅行在内的近期移民模式增加,对于外观异常的宫颈应怀疑有结核病。
