Peritoneal/pelvic tuberculosis should be absolutely considered in the differential diagnosis in cases with a presumptive diagnosis of pelvic malignancy or abscess with ascites, particularly in developing countries
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Tuberculosis incidence increases worldwide and it is still a public health problem particularly in developing countries like Turkey.
📊
Key Findings & Data:We aimed to present in this report 3 peritoneal/pelvic tuberculosis cases re- quired diagnostic laparatomy due to malignity or abscess pre-diagnosis based on the presence clinical manifestations, such as pelvic pain, mass, ascites and increased CA-125 level, mimicking pelvic pathol- ogy.

Abstract
Tuberculosis incidence increases worldwide and it is still a public health problem particularly in developing countries like Turkey. We aimed to present in this report 3 peritoneal/pelvic tuberculosis cases re- quired diagnostic laparatomy due to malignity or abscess pre-diagnosis based on the presence clinical manifestations, such as pelvic pain, mass, ascites and increased CA-125 level, mimicking pelvic pathol- ogy. Peritoneal/pelvic tuberculosis should be absolutely considered in the differential diagnosis in cases with a presumptive diagnosis of pelvic malignancy or abscess with ascites, particularly in developing countries
