| Popis: | Genital tuberculosis is a rare and unexpected disease in European countries including Croatia. Diagnosis of female genital tract tuberculosis is challenging and is rarely pin-pointed by clinical symptoms because of their low specificity. The authors decided to present a case of genitourinary tuberculosis in a young, immunocompetent fertile woman with high clinical suspicion of abdominal tumor mass. Although considered a desease of the past, rare clinical presentation of genital tuberculosis should be expected and taken into account. Genitalna tuberkuloza rijetka je i neočekivana bolest u zemljama Europske unije uključujući i Hrvatsku. Postavljanje dijagnoze tuberkuloze genitalnog sustava otežano je nespecifičnim simptomima. Prikazujemo slučaj genitourinarne tuberkuloze kod mlade imunokompetentne žene generativne dobi gdje je klinička dijagnoza upućivala na abdominalnu neoplazmu. U vremenu velikih društvenih promjena prisutnih posljednjih godina rijetke kliničke prezentacije tuberkuloze i dalje su moguće kao diferencijalna dijagnoza. |
