Introduction: Primary tuberculosis of cervix is a rare disease with a very few case reported in the literature till date. Mostly seen in the developing world, colposcopy appearance of the affected cervix may mislead the treating physician towards carcinoma cervix until the histopathology report reveals this non neoplastic condition. Case report: We presented a case of post menopausal lady with chief complaint of persistent vaginal discharge with colposcopy findings of leukoplakia on cervix with surface irregularity which was not acetowhite and was devoid of any vessel abnormality. The patient was treated with 6 months of anti tubercular drug after cervix histology was positive for primary tuberculosis and got cured completely. Conclusion: The unique presentation of leukoplakia without any malignant changes makes our case special as till date no cases of leukoplakia with a background of cervix tuberculosis has been reported in the literature.
