title: [Cervical lymphadenitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria. A case report].
abstract: Cervical lymphadenitis produced by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is gaining in importance and should be included in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses, particularly in immunodepressed children and patients. The treatment of choice and diagnostic test are discussed. A case of primary cervical adenitis by NTM is reported and the management is discussed in the light of recent bibliography.
