description Calvarial tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon form of TB reported in patients with mycobacterial infections. We present a case of calvarial TB in a patient with cervical TB lymphadenitis. The patient had a history of headache and swelling of the right parietal region of the skull. CT head showed peripherally enhancing small epidural collection at the right parietal region with overlying destroyed right parietal bone. Histopathology showed giant cells, lymphocytes, and caseous necrosis. We acknowledge that cervical TB lymphadenitis poses the development of calvarial TB in our patient.
