Abstract
-
Genital tract tuberculosis is uncommon disease, and usually developed secondary to a primary focus elsewhere in the body. The incidence of cervical involvement in genital tract tuberculosis is extremely low. 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.
