Non-respiratory forms of tuberculosis are frequently described in immigrants from endemic countries and in immunocompromised patients. Among the extrapulmonary forms of tuberculous disease, peripheral lymph node involvements, generally cervical, are the most common. Interestingly, only a few cases of tuberculous inguinal adenitis have been reported in the literature during the last 15 years. We report 2 cases of isolated inguinal inflammatory lymph-adenitis observed in immigrant immunocompetent women. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed by culture obtained by needle aspiration of a lymph node. The lesions completely healed after standard antituberculous therapy.
