Abstract
Tuberculosis (TBK) and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (LNH) are two entities that threaten many lives around the world. Their coexistence in the same organ is rather rare and have received little attention [1]. We report the case of a Moroccan 45 year old man; who presented a swollen inguinal lympahadenopathy. He was previously diagnosed with lymphnode tuberculosis and treated with antituberculosis which he achieved 3 months before admission. In view of unresponsiveness to treatment and worsening of symptoms, a biopsy was conducted and the patient was diagnosed as diffuse Large B cells Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
