Abstract
Eighteen cases of tuberculosis of the head and neck region are reported.1) Fourteen of the 18 patients had cervical lymphnode tuberculosis, 2 had tuberculous otitis media and 2 had tuberculosis of the larynx.2) Recently, cervical lymphnode tuberculosis has become uncommon, but it is important to differentiate it from malignancy by histopathological and bacteriological studies.3) Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA), performed in 9 cases, was positive in 7 cases (77.8%).We conclude that FNA is useful in the diagnosis of cervical lymphnode tuberculosis.
