ABSTRACT
Tuberculous peritonitis and tuberculous endometritis are extremely rare entities in the Western world. In this article, we discuss a rare case of a 40-year-old Nigerian female presenting with abdominal pain, distension and secondary amenorrhea, and show that a high clinical suspicion combined with minimally invasive procedures can help physicians make the diagnosis, avoid extensive surgery, and rapidly initiate appropriate therapy.
