Owing to the advancement in bacterial identification techniques, the detection rate of non- (NTM) has been on the rise. Different from , the clinical symptoms of NTM are not easily detected, and the clinical efficacy and prognosis are somewhat heterogeneous. To report a case of of cervical lymph node diagnosed in Anhui Chest Hospital in July 2022.
