Abstract

Soft tissue tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis characterized by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the subcutaneous tissue. This condition is important to recognize because its symptoms are nonspecific and often mimic malignancy, often referred to as a "good imitator." According to WHO data from 2023, the global TB incidence rate was 134 per 100,000 population, with Indonesia ranking second highest in the world. This study aims to describe the results of histopathological examinations of soft tissue tuberculosis patients at Madani General Hospital, Medan, during the period 2020–2024. The method used was a retrospective descriptive study through a review of the medical records of patients examined in the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory. Analysis was conducted on variables such as age, gender, lesion location, and histopathological results. The results showed that the largest age group was 19–27 years (25%), while the smallest was 10–18 years (7.5%). The gender distribution was balanced between males and females (50% each). The most common lesions were the neck and back (22.5%), while rarer locations, such as the axilla, buttocks, mandible, groin, and elbow, occurred in only 2.5% each. All cases were confirmed by histopathology, underscoring the importance of this examination to rule out malignancy and expedite the appropriate management of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract

Tonsillitis is one of the most common ENT disorders in children and may affect growth and overall quality of life. This study aimed to describe the clinical profile of pediatric tonsillitis patients at Royal Prima Hospital during 2023–2025. A retrospective descriptive observational design was used, involving 60 medical records that met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that the highest proportion of patients was aged 13–18 years (63.3%), with males being slightly more dominant (51.7%). Most patients had a normal nutritional status (70%), and the most frequent chief complaint was painful swallowing (58.3%). Physical examination revealed tonsillar enlargement predominantly at grade T3-T3 (55%). Chronic tonsillitis was more prevalent (66.7%) than acute tonsillitis (33.3%). Operative treatment was more commonly performed (55%) compared to medical therapy (45%). In conclusion, chronic tonsillitis remains a significant health issue in children, emphasizing the need for appropriate management to prevent complications and improve patient well-being.
