Cervical lymphadenitis is the most common head and neck manifestation of mycobacterial infections. The incidence of mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis has increased. It may be the manifestation of a systemic tuberculous disease or a unique clinical entity localized to neck. It remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge because it mimics other pathologic processes and yields inconsistent physical and laboratory findings. A high index of suspicion is needed for the diagnosis of mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis. A unilateral single or multiple painless lump, mostly located in posterior cervical or supraclavicular region can occur. A thorough history and physical examination, tuberculin test, staining for acid-fast bacilli, radiologic examination, fine-needle aspiration and PCR will be instrumental in arriving at an early diagnosis early institution of treatment before a final diagnosis can be made by biopsy and culture. It is important to differentiate tuberculous from nontuberculous mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis because their treatment protocols are different. Tuberculous adenitis is best treated as a systemic disease with antituberculosis medication. Atypical infections can be addressed as local infections and are amenable to surgical therapy.

“…Most active agents against MAC are macrolides like clarithromycin and azithromycin. Tunkel [4] suggested that cervico-facial NTM adenitis can be treated with excision or curettage. Excision remains the treatment of choice because of high cure rate with single procedure.…”

“…FNA cytology has a sensitivity and specificity of 88% and 96%, respectively, in case of tuberculous lymphadenitis diagnosis [21]. The diagnostic accuracy of mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis may be greatly enhanced when FNAC is used along with culture or a mantoux test [22][23][24] (Fig. 4).…”

One of the most common form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is peripheral tuberculous lymphadenitis and accounts for 20-40% of the cases. Tuberculous lymphadenitis has a gender and age predilection (usually seen in young females). It is usually bilateral in presentation and is noncontagious. Recent upsurge in HIV coinfection has challenged the diagnosis and management of TB and of associated lymphadenopathy. In the endemic areas, tuberculous lymphadenitis remains an important and essential differential diagnosis in patients presenting with cervical swellings. A timely and accurate diagnosis is mandatory to overcome this public health threat. Interdisciplinary involvement of varied medical and dental professionals enhances the possibility of an effective and timely diagnosis of this condition.
