Article Synopsis
- Peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare but often misdiagnosed condition that is becoming more common and requires careful consideration in clinical cases.
- In a study of seven patients treated for peritoneal TB in Aguascalientes, Mexico, the average age was 47.5 years, with a predominance of females and notable symptoms like abdominal pain and ascites.
- All patients had a prior misdiagnosis of malignant tumors, but during surgery, TB was suspected; they had a brief hospital stay without complications, highlighting the need for awareness of TB in similar clinical presentations.
