Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose is to discuss abdominal tuberculosis mimicking malignancy involving the lymph nodes, peritoneum, and the GI tract. CONCLUSION: Awareness of the pathophysiology and imaging appearance on various modalities of abdominal tuberculosis involving the lymph nodes, peritoneum, and the GI tract that may simulate malignancy can aid differentiation, diagnosis, and therapy, particularly in areas where tuberculosis is endemic.
