Cervical Scrofula Mimicking Thyroid Malignancy: A Rare Presentation with Pretracheal Lymph Node Involvement in an Adult Female

1. Abstract
Cervical lymphadenitis is the most common extra pulmonary manifestation of TB. Here we report a rare case of cervical scrofula (TB lymphadenitis) involving the pretracheal lymph node. It is essential to undergo a proper radiological assessment to differentiate between thyroid nodule and lymph node pathology and thus avoiding surgical intervention.
