Abstract

Dear Editor,
We would like to comment on “Tuberculosis of the Cervix Mimicking Cervical Carcinoma: A Case Report [1].”The authors of
this case report detail a rare instance of cervix tuberculosis in a 31-year-old nulliparous woman who presented with symptoms
similar to those of invasive cervical cancer. The patient continued to experience irregular vaginal discharge and intermenstrual
bleeding even after receiving previous treatments for cervical cancer. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculosis after a
friable erythematous lesion on the ectocervix was discovered during examination. The illness was effectively managed with
anti-tuberculosis drug treatment.
