摘要：

Background: Primary Tuberculosis of the uterine cervix is an unusual event, with only a few cases reported in the English literature. Case report: A 25 year old nulligravid woman was referred to our hospital with suspected cervical carcinoma. General, gynecologic, colposcopic and microbiologic assessments were done. Diagnosis of cervical tuberculosis was confirmed on histologic examination. The patient received anti-tuberculous therapy and has been disease free for 12 months. Conclusion: Cervical tuberculosis may mimic cervical carcinoma and should be included in the differential diagnosis especially in endemic countries.
