[Hypertrophic tuberculosis of the cervix].
The authors report two cases of tuberculosis of the uterine cervix. They point out the exceptional nature of this form of genital tuberculosis, and its epidemiological aspects. They stress that its macroscopic appearance is highly suggestive of a carcinomatous lesion. Doubt can be eliminated only by cervical biopsy and appropriate treatment for tuberculosis can then be started. Surgery is only very rarely required.
