Peritoneal Tuberculosis Imitating Ovarian Carcinoma “Special Category”

Abstract

A case report, of a patient with peritoneal tuberculosis in whom the provisional diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma—“special category” was made is presented. As most gynecologists see hardly any cases of peritoneal tuberculosis nowadays, this possible diagnosis—which should always be considered—is reviewed. It illustrates the importance of a definite histopathological diagnosis.
