Background:

Abdominal tuberculosis is a rare but serious condition, often presenting with vague symptoms.
Tuberculous appendicitis, a specific form of abdominal TB, is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

A case of probable tuberculous appendicitis was identified.
The patient also presented with active pulmonary tuberculosis.

Findings:

The case demonstrates a co-occurrence of appendiceal and pulmonary tuberculosis.
Review of literature on abdominal tuberculosis was conducted.

Implications:

This case underscores the need for a high index of suspicion for tuberculosis in patients with appendicitis, especially in endemic areas.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in abdominal tuberculosis.
