Extremely Rare Concomitance Of Tubercular Lymphadenitis With T Cell Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma – A Diagnostic Challenge For Clinician
Extremely rare concomitance of Tubercular lymphadenitis with T cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Keywords:
Tuberculosis, Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma, lymphadenitisAbstract
Tuberculosis (TB) presenting with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma is an extremely rare clinical presentation and is quite difficult to diagnose because of similar signs & symptoms including lymphadenopathy, weight loss, anorexia and generalised weakness. Herein we report a case of 40 year old male who presented with enlarged cervical and axillary lymph nodes, diagnosed and initiated on therapy for TB based on the axillary node FNAC that showed granulomatous lymphadenitis suggestive of TB but was later confirmed to be a case of non Hodgkin’s lymphoma by excisional biopsy followed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry .
