Abstract
Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is becoming more and more frequent, especially in endemic countries such as Morocco, it is manifested by very variable and non-specific clinical pictures which can be the cause of a diagnostic and therapeutic delay. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman, in whom a laparotomy was indicated for a retroperitoneal mass fistulized to the skin, allowing the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
