title: [Scrofula in an elderly woman. A clinical case].
abstract: The case is described of an elderly woman with scrofula. The peculiarity of this case consisted in the comparative rarity of primary tubercular lymphadenopathy (a pathology that in the past used to be common in poor socioeconomic conditions) even considering the present renewed diffusion of tuberculosis; especially as this elderly patient had no previous history of tubercular infection.
