Peritoneal tuberculosis imitating ovarian carcinoma "special category".
A case report, of a patient with peritoneal tuberculosis in whom the provisional diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma--"special category" was made is presented. As most gynecologists see hardly any cases of peritoneal tuberculosis nowadays, this possible diagnosis--which should always be considered--is reviewed. It illustrates the importance of a definite histopathological diagnosis.
