Description
This is a rare case of a 27 year old young female with complaints of postcoital bleeding associated with abdominal pain since 1 year. On per speculum examination, a large irregular friable growth was seen which used to bleed on touch. A provisional diagnosis of carcinoma cervix was made, but the cervical biopsy revealed granulomatous inflammation with central necrosis, consistent with the diagnosis of cervical tuberculosis. The patient responded well to 6 months of antitubercular treatment. Hence, cervical tuberculosis should be kept as a differential diagnosis of carcinoma cervix.
