Patients with peritoneal tuberculosis often present with abdominal distension and subfertility, indicating diagnostic challenges.
All patients had positive Mantoux test results, and two showed elevated CA-125 levels, complicating conclusions about malignancy.
Laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis through histopathology, emphasizing its vital role in managing these cases effectively.
Timely anti-tuberculosis therapy led to excellent outcomes, reducing the need for unnecessary surgical interventions.
