摘要
A 48-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of a tender mass in the left side of the neck. He was diagnosed with tuberculous lymphadenitis based on the results of a biopsy. Shortly after the diagnosis, oral aphthae, erythema nodosum-like lesions on the lower legs and genital ulcers developed. A diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis was ruled out according to a negative mycobacterial culture of tissues obtained from stained smears and lesional biopsy specimens. The patient's symptoms remitted following the introduction of antituberculous therapy. We assume that tuberculous lymphadenitis was strongly associated with the appearance of Behcet's disease-like symptoms in this case.
