Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Abdominopelvictuberculosis(genital tuberculosis)may mimic ovarian malignancy in clinical presentation, ultrasound findings and laboratory tests. We present two casesof genital tuberculosis where a provisional diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma was made. One patient underwent surgery and the other was treated conservatively. These cases underline the mandatory need of a high index of suspicion in our country, towards pelvic tuberculosis preoperatively in a patient with adnexal mass.
