Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) in the head-and-neck area can mimic cancer symptoms, resulting in misdiagnosis and delays in treatment, making awareness crucial for early detection.
- The study reviewed cases from 30 patients treated between 2018 and 2024, primarily involving young individuals aged 15-24, with cervical tubercular adenitis being the most common lesion.
- The findings suggest that healthcare providers need to consider TB in differential diagnoses due to its varied presentations, which can easily be confused with other conditions.
