摘要
Tuberculous peritonitis may debut with unspecific symptoms that can pose a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. We present a patient with tuberculous peritonitis masquerading as carcinomatosis. High clinical suspicion, appropriate identification of bacterial isolates of theMycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex, and susceptibility testing are crucial to select target therapy.
