Abstract:
Tuberculous peritonitis (TB peritonitis) is one of the most challenging forms of extrapulmonary TB to diagnose. While tumor markers can be elevated in patients with TB peritonitis, FDG-PET/CT can aid in distinguishing TB peritonitis from malignancies, if an apron-like omentum pattern is seen. Laparoscopy is crucial for accurate and early diagnosis.
