Genital tuberculosis (TB) in women is a chronic disease with low-grade symptoms. Genital tract tuberculosis is usually secondary to extragenital TB. The fallopian tubes are most commonly affected, and along with endometrial involvement, it causes infertility in such patients. Involvement of the cervix and the vulva is very rare. We present one such rare case of vulvar tuberculosis presented with a large ulcer diagnosed on histopathology and treated with antitubercular chemotherapy.
女性生殖器结核是一种伴有轻微症状的慢性疾病。生殖道结核通常继发于生殖器外结核。输卵管最常受累,连同子宫内膜受累,可导致此类患者不孕。宫颈和外阴受累非常罕见。我们报告了一例罕见的外阴结核病例,该病例表现为一个大溃疡,经组织病理学诊断,并接受抗结核化疗。
