Once you have received the treatment for extra pulmonary tuberculosis for 10 month then it seems necessary to confirm the recurrence of tuberculosis by biopsy or histopathology before starting antitubercular treatment.
Next Steps
Consult to gastroenterologist and plan for lymph-node biopsy. It can be done by ultrasound or CT guidance or by endoscopic ultrasound guidance.
