| Popis: | Abdominal tuberculosis is an uncommon extra-pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis.Case report and literature review.Herein, we report an unusual case of ruptured tuberculous mesenteric cold abscess, which was managed by laparotomy for diagnosis and drainage, and post-operative chemotherapy.Peritoneal tuberculosis may present to surgeons as ascites, an abdominal mass, or peritonitis. Preoperative diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis is notoriously difficult. Acute peritonitis provoked by rupture of tuberculosis mesenteric cold abscess is exceedingly rare. Surgical intervention is warranted for diagnosis and drainage. |
