or ongoing tuberculosis anywhere in the body. Presented is a 12 year old female with one year history of axillary
swelling, clinical examination and investigations revealed no evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere. Diagnosis was
established by histology. Tuberculosis should be considered in patients residing in endemic areas with axillary
lymphadenopathy.
