Tuberculous lymphadenitis is among the most frequent presentations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculous lymphadenitis in the cervical region is known as scrofula [1]. This syndrome can also be caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria. TB is responsible for up to 43 percent of peripheral lymphadenopathy in the developing world . In rural India, the prevalence of tuberculous lymphadenitis in children up to 14 years of age is approximately 4.4 cases per 1000 . In the United States, about 20 percent of patients with TB have extrapulmonary disease, and lymphadenitis is a presenting symptom in about 30 to 40 percent of cases . In a Danish reported including more than 480 patients with TB between 2007 and 2016, lymphadenitis was observed in 13.5 percent of cases.  Tuberculous lymphadenitis occurring in the cervical region is the most common cause of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).
