    Summary

    This study identifies key computed tomographic (CT) features of intraabdominal tuberculosis (TB). Recognizing these CT findings can help avoid invasive surgery for abdominal TB.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Intraabdominal tuberculosis (TB) exhibits diverse clinical and radiologic presentations.
    • Computed tomographic (CT) findings are crucial for diagnosing abdominal TB.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe additional CT features suggestive of intraabdominal tuberculosis.
    • To aid in the differential diagnosis and guide management of suspected abdominal TB.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of eight intraabdominal TB cases.
    • Detailed review of computed tomographic (CT) findings.

    Main Results:

    • Identified five CT features: omental soft-tissue densities, low-density masses with rims, disorganized masses, multilocular lymph nodes, and high-density ascites.
    • These features aid in differentiating TB from lymphoma, peritonitis, carcinomatosis, and mesothelioma.

    Conclusions:

    • Recognition of specific CT features can lead to earlier diagnosis of intraabdominal TB.
    • Prompt diagnosis allows for less invasive management, avoiding exploratory laparotomy.
