RESUMO
Tuberculous cervicitis is seldomly encountered with the gross lesions being misinterpreted as carcinoma of cervix. Since endometrium and tube are commonly sites of infection in the majority of cases the diagnosis of tuberculous cervicitis can be made by cervical biopsy with appropriate staining in association of microorganium. Reported herewith a 78 years old women presented with leucorrhea noticed few days prior to be seen. On pelvic examination the vagina contained some amount of foul smell purulent discharge. There were discrete pinhead-like lesions at the ectocervix and apparently beneath the cervical mucosa. The uterus and both adnexae appeared normal. Indurated parametria was also noted on rectal examination. Cervical biopsy was carried out with the diagnosis of tuberculous cervicitis made thereafter. The acid-fast bacilli were also demonstrated in the Fite’s stain specimen. Antuberculous drugs were given and one month after treatment the lesions disappeared completely.
