In this paper, two cases of tuberculosis appearing in the cervical lymph nodes are reported. Although this disease is not so common today, it still occurs. One case involves a 54-year-old man and the another involves a 51-year-old woman. In each case, a tuberculin skin test proved to be markedly positive and elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was clearly indicated; however, no abnormalities were observed on the chest radiographs. Because their swellings had a nodular appearance, it was difficult to distinguish them from malignant neck tumors. Each of the lesions excised was histopathologically diagnosed as tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculous chemotherapy was administered to each patient and no evidence of recurrence was observed in either case.
