ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is a global health problem, primarily seen in developing countries, where there are insufficient health services and high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has further increased the burden of disease. Pelvic tuberculosis can cause ascites and an abdominal mass that may masquerade as ovarian cancer. CA125 levels are raised in peritoneal tuberculosis. CT scan and MRI also give a similar picture and diagnosis is often difficult. We are presenting an unusual case of pelvic tuberculosis being referred to us as a case of adnexal mass with ascites and raised tumor marker.
