Abstract :
Tuberculosis is an important cause of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. We report the case
of a 68-year-oldwoman who presented, 06 months before
her consultation, an isolated unilateral cervical
lymphadenopathy without any others symptoms.
Nasofibroscopy showed a mass of the cavum and the
histopathology revealed granulomatous inflammatory
lesions with caseation necrosis. The declining cavum
mass was noticed after nine months ofanti-tuberculous
medication.
