Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is the second leading cause of death from
infectious diseases worldwide. In non immuno compromised women, extra
pulmonary TB accounts for 20% of new cases identified .Isolated ovarian
TB is an uncommon disease given that genitourinary TB usually
presents with endometrial and fallopian tube involvement. We report a
case of cystic ovarian mass, with ascites, pleural effusion;
tuberculosis
of ovary and omentum; third degree utero vaginal prolapse in a post
menopausal woman. Ascites and pleural effusion resolved spontaneously
in a week of surgery. Patient received ATT and recovered well.
Diagnostic difficulties in this case are discussed.
