Abstract

The coexistence of a head and neck cancer and a lymph node tuberculosis is rarely described. The problem is essentially diagnos-tic. We report the case of a patient with cervical lymphadenopathy and non suspect swelliing of nasopharynx. Histopathological study of lymph node reveled an association of a tubercular adenitis and a metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma.
