This is a rare localization of genital tuberculosis and can take the appearance of a cervical cancer. Biopsy with histological study of the lesion confirms the diagnosis. The frequency of this pathology can reach up to 8%. The extension to the endo- metrium and/or tubes in a young woman may compromise future fertility. Early and well conducted TB treatment allows the ad integrum restitution cervix. Keywords Tuberculosis, Cervical Biopsy, Genital Tuberculosis 1. Introduction Genital tuberculosis is a rare disease in developed countries. In sub-medicalized coun- tries, it still remains a concern especially with the advent of HIV [1]. Tuberculosis of the cervix is a rare location that evolves either as a banal disease [2], or as a pathology that can evoke a cervical cancer [3]. The biopsy and the histological study of the speci- men confirms the diagnosis [4]. We report a clinical case diagnosed in our department. The clinical features of this location, the diagnostics, the therapeutics and the preven- tion of the disease are discussed. Genital and extra-genital investigations are needed before any treatment. 2. Observation Mrs. K. J. 45 years old, gravida 4, para 4 with 4 living children, was seen in gynecologi- cal consultation in May 2012 with complaints of vaginal discharge associated with ir- regular vaginal bleeding.
