Tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is one of the most common extrapulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis. Recently, We experienced a 35 year-old female patient who had been admitted with neck masses lasted for past 4 months. The physical examination revealed protrusion of the left posterior pharyngeal wall and neck masses (movable, erythematous, non tender) on the both sides of neck. She was diagnosed tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis with retropharyngeal abscess. We effectively treated her with trial simple neck abscess drainage and intraoral drainage and frequent dressing with betadine. Here we report it with a review of the literature.
