Abstract

Cervical tuberculosis is an uncommon condition that often mimics cervical cancer in clinical presentations, leading to potential misdiagnosis. The definitive diagnosis is typically established through biopsy, which allows for the identification of characteristic histopathological features. Medical management is the primary approach for treating cervical tuberculosis, involving the use of antitubercular therapy tailored to the patients needs. However, the prognosis for young women diagnosed with this condition can be complicated by the risk of infertility, especially in cases where there is concurrent involvement of the uterine tubes.
