  • Title: Tuberculous peritonitis: part of the differential diagnosis in ovarian cancer.
    Author: Panoskaltsis TA, Moore DA, Haidopoulos DA, McIndoe AG.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 2000 Mar; 182(3):740-2. PubMed ID: 10739544.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of tuberculous peritonitis in a young woman who was initially thought to have ovarian cancer. We emphasize the misleading raised CA 125 levels and radiologic pictures and the importance of frozen-section analysis for definitive diagnosis to avoid unnecessary surgery.
