title: [Hypertrophic tuberculosis of the cervix. Three cases].
abstract: Tuberculosis of the cervix of the uterus is a rare form of genital tuberculosis. The epidemiology does not have any particular specific feature; but the macroscopic appearance gives a first impression of a cancer. Only by carrying out a biopsy of the cervix, followed by study of the histology can the problem be solved so that longterm anti-tuberculous treatment can be started. There is rarely any need for surgery, that only in cases resistant to medical treatment. The authors report three cases of tuberculosis of uterine cervix, found in the university clinic of obstetrics and gynaecology I (Professor Chaoui) during the years 1986-90. The incidence of this condition is 8.5% of genital tuberculosis. The outlook is good with full healing if the treatment is carried out properly.
