Case Report a Rare Localization of Tuberculosis: Endometrial Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a public health problem, particularly in developing countries. Pulmonary bacillary tuberculosis is the most common form of tuberculosis, while genital tuberculosis is rare and underdiagnosed. We report here a case of endometrial tuberculosis. The study involved a 64-year-old female patient undergoing treatment for breast cancer, consulting her gynecologist because of abnormal uterine bleeding. Pelvic ultrasound revealed thickening of the endometrium. This was suggestive of endometrial cancer. Pathological examination of endometrial curettage specimens showed granulomatous endometritis suggestive of follicular tuberculosis. The outcome was favorable with anti-tuberculosis treatment.
