- Abstract
The article in the Nigerian Medical Journal discusses a case of tuberculosis of the cervix that mimicked cervical carcinoma in a 31-year-old woman. Despite receiving previous treatments for cervical cancer, the patient continued to experience symptoms such as irregular vaginal discharge and intermenstrual bleeding. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed through a biopsy, and the patient responded well to anti-tuberculosis drug treatment. The article highlights the importance of considering cervical tuberculosis as a differential diagnosis in cases that resemble cervical cancer, and suggests further research to improve understanding and treatment of this condition.
