چکیده
Cervical tuberculosis accounts for 0.1–0.65 % of all cases of tuberculosis (TB) [1]. Although TB more frequently affects the fallopian tubes and endometrium [2], TB of the cervix is present in about 5–24 % of all TB cases of the genital tract [1]. Cervical TB is usually not suspected clinically and, in a post-menopausal woman, it may simulate carcinoma. In this article, we present a case of cervical TB due to the rarity of this condition (Fig. 1).
