Vulval Tuberculosis Mimicking Vulval Malignancy- A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
A 60 year old married post menopausal woman presented to the OPD on 5th may 2017 with complaints of itching over the vulva since 1.5 year which gradually changed into reddish painful and ulcerative lesion. Patient was admitted and initially antibiotic and antifungal treatment was started,but the patient did not respond to the same. Following that,biopsy was taken from the lesion in view of suspicion of malignancy and sent for histopathological examination which showed chronic caseating granulomatous inflammation – likely of tubercular etiology. Acid fast bacilli Ziehl Neelsen staining was positive. Patient was put on Antitubercular drugs. Tuberculosis of the vulva is very rare and seen in only 1-2% of the cases. Hence, this case is reported as its appearance was mimicking that of carcinoma of vulva.
