A Case of Nasopharyngeal Tuberculosis with Cervical Lymph Node Tuberculosis Suspected of Cervical Malignant Disease at the First Examination

A case of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis with cervical lymph node tuberculosis is reported. The patient was a 20-year-old female immigrant from Vietnam and cook apprentice. Her chief complaint was left neck swelling with pain for three months. She was diagnosed with left neck lymphadenitis at a previous hospital, which suspected malignant lymphoma and referred her to our hospital. At the time of the first visit, she had left lymph swelling with tenderness and granuloma-like masses in the nasopharynx. PET-CT showed accumulations in both the swollen left neck lymph and nasopharynx. The diagnosis of this case would appear to be nasopharyngeal cancer with left and neck lymph node metastasis or nasopharyngeal tuberculosis with cervical lymph node tuberculosis in addition to malignant lymphoma. Based on some examinations (biopsy, bacteria culture, and imaging), it was diagnosed as nasopharyngeal tuberculosis with cervical lymph node tuberculosis. Therefore, she was treated with anti-tuberculosis agent in respiratory medicine.

Lymph Node Tuberculosis

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) can infect both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary organs. In India pulmonary TB accounts for 80% of cases and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) accounts for 20% cases. Cervical lymph nodes are the most location for EPTB. Aims and Objectives: To study the efficacy of treatment with oral steroids along with anti-tuberculosis treatment in cervical lymph node tuberculosis. Methods: A total of 60 patients were enrolled in the study all with EPTB and cervical lymphadenitis. These 60 study patients were randomised into two groups. Group-I consisted of 30 patients given anti-tuberculosis therapy along with prednisolone 1mg/kg body weight for 4 weeks followed by tapering at 0.5 mg/kg body weight over 4 weeks. Group-II was comprised of 30 patients given antituberculosis treatment plus placebo Results: After completion of treatment 27 patients in Group I (90%) showed complete resolution and 3 patients (10%) had residual evidence of lymphadenitis with no change. In contrast, only 19 patients (63.3%) showed complete resolution in Group 2 and 11 patients (36.7%) had residual lymphadenitis present (10 had no change, 1 had increase in size). Conclusion: We conclude that steroids given with antituberculosis treatment to patients with cervical lymphadenitis led to faster and earlier resolution of tuberculous lymphadenitis.

Abstract Background: Contralateral neck lymph node metastasis is rare for primary breast cancer. Its clinical stage and treatment principles are lack of authoritative guidelines. A 30-year-old breast cancer patient with contralateral neck lymph node metastasis is presented. The clinical treatment is discussed combined with current research.Case presentation: A 30-year-old woman presented with a right breast mass for 5 months and left neck lymph node enlargement for 5 days. The mammography showed a 33mm*14.3mm mass in the inner quadrant of right breast. The ultrasound showed several hypoechoic nodules on the left side of the neck. Rapid intraoperative pathological examination diagnosed right breast malignant tumor and poorly differentiated carcinoma of the left cervical lymph nodes. Then the right mastectomy was performed immediately. The patient was scheduled to administer chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, radiotherapy and endocrinotherapy after operation. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.Conclusion: The infrequent presentation of breast cancer with metastasis to the contralateral neck lymph node can be challenged for standard therapies.

Respiratory Physician

Background: A variety of disease processes investigated by respiratory physicians can lead to cervical lymphadenopathy. Ultrasound (US) has revolutionised respiratory investigations, and neck ultrasound (NUS) is increasingly recognised as an additional important skill for respiratory physicians. Objectives: We aimed to assess the feasibility of NUS performed by respiratory physicians in the workup of patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Methods: This is a single-centre retrospective cohort study. All patients that underwent US-guided cervical lymph node sampling were included. The diagnostic yield is reported, and specimen adequacy is compared for respiratory physicians and radiologists. Results: Over 5 years, 106 patients underwent NUS-guided lymph node sampling by respiratory physicians compared to 35 cases performed by radiologists. There was no significant difference in the adequacy of sampling between the two groups (respiratory physicians 91.5% [95% CI 84.5–96%] compared to 82.9% [95% CI 66.4–93.4%] for radiologists [p = 0.2]). In the respiratory physician group, a diagnosis was achieved based on lymph node sampling in 89 cases (84%). Neck lymph node sampling was the only procedure performed to obtain tissue in 48 cases (45.3%). Conclusion: NUS and sampling performed by respiratory physicians are feasible and associated with an adequacy rate comparable to that of radiologists. It can reduce the number of invasive procedures performed in a selected group of patients. Guidelines for training and competency assessment are required.
