Cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (CTL), the most frequent extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis, is currently a major health problem in Tunisia and in several regions around the world. CTL diagnosis is challenging mainly due to the paucibacillary nature of the disease and the potential misdiagnosis as cervical non-tuberculous lymphadenitis. This study demonstrates the added value of the heparin-binding hemagglutinin-interferon-gamma release assay as an immunoassay in the context of CTL.

- Hydatid disease, although common in some regions, is rarely found in the cervical area, particularly in children.
- Two cases of primary cervical hydatid disease were reported in children, with diagnosis confirmed only after surgical intervention due to nonspecific imaging results.
- It's important to consider hydatid disease for slow-growing neck swellings in endemic areas, utilizing clinical evaluations and imaging techniques to suggest the diagnosis.
Background: This study aims to assess in our institutional experience the accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of salivary gland masses (SGM) according to the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) and to an in-house system.
Methods: The study included 189 FNACs conducted between January 2011 and December 2019. The FNACs, classified according to the in-house system, were reclassified according the MSRSGC.
