SummaryBackground/Aim: Our aim is to describe multidisciplinary approach to primary tuberculous lymphadenitis with a case report.Case Report: A 6-year-old boy was referred to İstanbul University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the symptoms of painless extra-oral abscess and lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of primary tuberculous lymphadenitis was proved by microbiological culture and ultrasound imaging.Conclusions: Combine tuberculosis treatment should be applied and long term follow up is necessary. Excisional biopsy for tissue diagnosis and bacterial examination with culture should be performed for an early diagnosis as a delay in treatment can lead to devastating consequences.

A 26-year-old woman presented with recurrent Kikuchi disease 7 years after her initial episode. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography demonstrated enlarged lymph nodes with extensive necrosis at the same site as the initial episode. Cytologic and histologic examinations were not conclusive. CT performed 1 month later demonstrated a complete resolution of the lymphadenopathy, which confirmed the diagnosis of recurrent Kikuchi disease. Care must be taken to avoid misdiagnosis of recurrent Kikuchi disease as tuberculous lymphadenitis.

Introduction: Tuberculosis lymphadenitis (or tuberculous adenitis) is the most common type of infection with tuberculosis that occurs outside of the respiratory system. Tuberculosis lymphadenitis is a chronic condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the granulomatous inflammation of the lymph node caused by caseated necrosis. The number of people who contact tuberculosis is estimated at 8 million per year, and about 3 million people die from tuberculosis in the world. Presentation of Case: In this case report we delineate the case of a female patient, 26-year-old, she had some pain and lymph node swelling in her right submandibular region since from 4 months and was diagnosed as right Caseating Tuberculous Lymphadenitis, associated with the cervical (neck) region, who was immunocompetent and HIV test negative, with a history of recurring fever, weight loss, loss of appetite for the last 4 months. On physical examination, she had swelling approximately 3×3 cm in the right submandibular region and a hard mass and painful sensation were noticed in her right submandibular region. On Fine needle aspiration cytology of submandibular lymph node reveals Caseating Tuberculous Lymphadenitis. this is extremely rare in immunocompetent individuals.
