Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment of cervical lymph node tuberculosis.METHODS The clinical data of 100 patients with cervical lymph node tuberculosis admitted in our hospital from 2007 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS Most of the patients with cervical lymph node tuberculosis presented with cervical mass alone,only 8 cases associated with fever,night sweats,fatigue and other systemic symptoms of poisoning.Ninety five patients were diagnosed by postoperative pathological examination,while 15 patients were diagnosed with fine needle aspiration preoperatively.Ninety five patients received surgical treatment with postoperative systemic anti-tuberculosis treatment for 6 months,the remaining 5 patients given standard antituberculosis treatment.All of the patients got satisfactory results.There were three operative methods:simple cervical lymph node resection(31 cases),cervical lymph node dissection(53 cases),and abscess incision debridement(ll cases).All patients had no recurrence.CONCLUSION The clinical manifestation of cervical lymph node tuberculosis are complicated,the positive rate of fine needle aspiration biopsy is low.Postoperative pathological examination can help to further confirm the diagnosis.Surgical treatment combined with postoperative systemic standard anti-tuberculosis therapy can be used to cervical lymph node tuberculosis.
