title: [A case of tubercular peritonitis: diagnostic value of laparoscopy].
abstract: A case of tubercular peritonitis is illustrated in which the diagnosis is made thanks to the use of diagnostic imaging. Diagnostic certainty, however, can be obtained only by laparoscopy, which provides both a direct view of the lesions and biopsy samples of the peritoneal lesions.
