[Lymph node tuberculosis].
Ganglionic tuberculosis with a cervicofacial location is still frequent in Tunisia. The main problem posed is bacteriological. Over the last nine years, we have treated 110 patients. There is a clear male predominance. The preferential location is the jugulocarotid and upper spinal chain. The notions of contamination and a secondary location, particularly in the lungs, are rarely encountered. Extended cellulolymphadenectomy is the basis of surgical treatment, backed up by polychemotherapy over a period of 6 months.
