Abstract

The disease remains prevalent in developing countries and with changing patterns its incidence in developed countries appears to be increasing. The gross appearance of cervical tuberculosis is most commonly confused with cervical carcinoma. We report two cases of tuberculosis of cervix of uterus with brief review of literature.
