Tuberculous peritonitis is rare in developed nations and difficult to diagnose. Computed tomography (CT) findings are crucial for identifying this uncommon disease, especially when differentiating it from peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculous peritonitis (TB peritonitis) is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis, particularly in developed countries.
  • Diagnosis is challenging due to non-specific clinical and laboratory findings, often mimicking peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Observation:

  • This study presents two cases of TB peritonitis.
  • Computed tomography (CT) findings were analyzed in the context of existing literature.

Findings:

  • CT imaging reveals characteristic patterns that can aid in the diagnosis of TB peritonitis.
  • Radiologic manifestations are key to identifying the disease, especially in high-risk populations.

Implications:

  • Early recognition of CT findings is vital for timely diagnosis and management of TB peritonitis.
