Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

301
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon extrapulmonary manifestation of TB.
  • It frequently presents symptoms that overlap with ovarian malignancy, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old female presented with symptoms including abdominal distension and night sweats.
  • Imaging revealed ascites, peritoneal thickening, and ovarian masses, initially suggesting malignancy.
  • Elevated inflammatory markers (CRP) and CA-125 were noted.

Findings:

  • Ascitic fluid analysis showed high protein and neutrophil predominance.
  • Pelvic MRI indicated tuberculous peritonitis.
  • Histopathology confirmed peritoneal TB with caseating granulomas.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the critical need to consider TB in the differential diagnosis of suspected ovarian malignancy, particularly in TB-endemic areas.
  • Emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment of peritoneal tuberculosis.
