  • Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) adenitis of the head and neck region is well-described in healthy children, most commonly presenting under the age of 5years. Extracervicofacial NTM adenitis is less common. We present a case of NTM inguinal adenitis in a 2-year-old girl, followed by a systematic review of the literature.Copyright © 2016 Asian-African Society for Mycobacteriology.
