Abstract

Intra-peritoneal tuberculosis is a rare disease, accounting for 1-2% of all tuberculosis cases. The absence of characteristic clinical picture of intra-peritoneal tuberculosis makes the diagnosis rarely easy for clinicians as it mimics malignancy. We present a case of a young male patient who presented with peritoneal tuberculosis, aiming to contribute to a better understanding of peritoneal tuberculosis in the literature.
