Tuberculosis can cause endometrial inflammation in postmenopausal women, a rare presentation. Early diagnosis and treatment with antitubercular therapy led to recovery, highlighting the need for broader screening.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Genital tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • It typically affects younger, infertile women, often from non-industrialized regions.
  • Endometrial inflammation can mimic malignancy, necessitating thorough diagnostic evaluation.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old menopausal woman presented with a two-month history of metrorrhagia.
  • Initial biopsies suggested endometrial inflammation, ruling out malignancy.
  • Mycobacterial cultures confirmed Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • The patient received a four-drug antituberculous therapy regimen.
  • Complete recovery was achieved following the prescribed treatment.

  • This case underscores the atypical presentation of genital tuberculosis in an older woman.

    • Implications:

    • Genital tuberculosis requires increased clinical suspicion, even in postmenopausal women presenting with subtle symptoms.
    • Broadening diagnostic approaches to include mycobacterial examination for unexplained genital symptoms is crucial.
    • Early identification and management of tuberculosis are essential for favorable patient outcomes, irrespective of age or geographic origin.
