title: Nontuberculous mycobacterial adenitis outside of the head and neck region in children: A case report and systematic review of the literature.
abstract: Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) adenitis of the head and neck region is well-described in healthy children, most commonly presenting under the age of 5years. Extracervicofacial NTM adenitis is less common. We present a case of NTM inguinal adenitis in a 2-year-old girl, followed by a systematic review of the literature.
