Abstract
The approach to diagnosing peritoneal tuberculosis in patients is complex and often overlaps with other obstetric and gynecologic diseases. A 27-year-old woman with complaints of abdominal mass went to the DOTS clinic after surgical removal of an ovarian mass. Clinical, laboratory, and histopathological abdominal CT scans showed a picture of tuberculosis. The patient was then treated with a TB regimen and as a result his clinical condition improved and the mass shrank.
