Tuberculosis may coexist with malignancy. But coexistence of tuberculosis and cancer in cervix is extremely rare. We present a rare case of coexistent squamous cell carcinona and tuberculosis of uterine cervix in a 35 years old lady who presented with chief complaints of white discharge and bleeding per vagina since 1 year. Histopathological findings of carcinomatous nests along with epithelioid granuloma, langhans type of giant cells and positive acid fast bacilli in the tissue section give authenticity to our diagnosis. Tuberculosis complicating malignancy may occur in regions with high prevalence of this disease. Hence, proper diagnosis of tuberculosis in a patient with cancer assumes importance as it may add to the surveillance of the patient.
