    Abdominal tuberculosis is rare but can mimic lymphoma on CT scans. High suspicion is crucial for accurate diagnosis, avoiding unnecessary surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Abdominal tuberculosis (ATB) incidence has declined globally, yet remains a diagnostic challenge.
    • Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) prevalence does not always correlate with ATB occurrence.
    • Non-specific symptoms and imaging findings can obscure ATB diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A case of ATB in a young male presented with vague symptoms.
    • Computed tomography (CT) scans suggested abdominal lymphoma.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via exploratory laparotomy.

    Findings:

    • ATB can present with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • CT findings in ATB may mimic other intra-abdominal pathologies, including lymphoma.
    • Exploratory laparotomy was required for definitive diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • A high index of clinical suspicion is vital for diagnosing rare abdominal tuberculosis.
    • Timely diagnosis can prevent delayed treatment and unnecessary surgical interventions.
    • Awareness of ATB's varied presentations aids in differential diagnosis of abdominal masses.
