Genital tract tuberculosis with peritoneal involvement: MR appearance.
The MR appearance of a case of genital tract tuberculosis is reported. The finding of a large amount of loculated fluid containing septations and debris on ultrasound along with bilateral hydropic fallopian tubes and a thickened omentum on MRI permitted the diagnosis to be suggested preoperatively. With increasing prevalence, such unusual manifestations of tuberculosis will be seen more frequently.
