“…12 -15 In Europe and USA, most patients with genital TB are over 40 years of age. 16,17 The incidence of endometrial with genital TB in this study was very low (0.45%). This compares with that of the Moyer 18 in Los Angeles (0.2-0.3%); Chattopadhjay et al 12 in Riyadh (4.2%); Sutherland 19 in Glasgow (slightly above 5%) and Sharman 20 in Israel (5.3%).…”

Endometrial tuberculosis (TB) is a known cause of infertility in women which, because of the global increase in the spread of TB, should always be considered when investigating the cause of infertility. We undertook this review in order to determine its incidence among infertile women in the Nigerian middle belt. This is a retrospective study of all histopathological slides of infertile women seen at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria, between 1997 and 2004 who were evaluated for infertility by endometrial biopsy. The slides were reviewed and, where necessary, new sections were cut from tissue blocks and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Ziehl-Neelsen stain used to demonstrate acid-fast bacilli. Clinical reports were extracted from histopathological request form. A total of 661 patients were included in the study. Primary infertility constituted 30%, secondary 69% and unspecified cases 1%. TB endometritis was seen in 0.45%. Endometrial TB is not a frequent cause of infertility in our set-up. However, with the worldwide resurgence of TB, its possible presence should always be taken into consideration.

“…La tuberculose génitale est peu parlante cliniquement ou peut mimer d'autres pathologies, classiquement une néoplasie pelvienne (cancer de l'ovaire ou de l'endomètre, plus rarement vulvaire ou vaginal) ou un abcès pelvien ou péritonéal à pyogènes. Les signes cliniques révélant une localisation cervicale de la tuberculose sont peu spécifiques, associant des métrorragies provoquées ou spontanées, à des leucorrhées [5]. L'expression clinique du col, dans notre étude, est celui d'un col tuméfié, bosselé par endroit, saignant au contact, avec des leucorrhées blanchâtres, spumeuses.…”

Tuberculose pseudo tumorale du col de l'utérus

La localisation cervicale de la tuberculose est rare et peut prendre l'apparence d'un cancer du col utérin. La présentation pauci-symptomatique et l'évolution insidieuse sont à l'origine d'un retard diagnostique. Les symptômes communément rencontrés sont non spécifiques, ce qui contribue au retard thérapeutique et majore le risque d'infertilité qui reste la séquelle quasi inéluctable. Nous rapportons un cas de tuberculose du col utérin dont le diagnostic de prime abord n'a pas été évident. En effet une patiente a été adressée à notre département pour suspicion de cancer du col utérin. Le diagnostic de suspicion de cancer a été alors retenu devant un col qui saignait au contact avec une tomodensitométrie abdominopelvienne en faveur d'une tumeur du col utérin. Une biopsie de confirmation histologique a été indiquée. On a retrouvé à l'examen anatomopathologique, un granulome épithélio-giganto-cellulaire avec nécrose caséeuse, compatible avec une tuberculose cervicale. La recherche d'un terrain était négative. Un traitement antituberculeux instauré a conduit à la guérison. Retenue souvent sur la base d'éléments présomptifs, la décision diagnostique et thérapeutique de tuberculose du col cervicale reconnait la place de l'examen anatomopathologique.

Unequivocal diagnosis requires demonstration of AFB with Ziehl-Neelson staining.…”

Tuberculosis of uterine cervix: a report of two cases with variable clinical presentation

et al. 2010

Tuberculosis (TB) of the cervix is a rare disease. We describe two cases of tuberculous cervicitis with variable clinical presentation. In one case, a young woman presented with primary infertility and secondary amenorrhoea. The other is a perimenopausal woman with irregular vaginal bleeding and postcoital blood-stained discharge. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological examination of the endocervical curettings and a cervical biopsy. The patients were given six months of anti-tuberculous therapy and responded well.
