Case report identifies ovarian tuberculosis presented with pyosalpinx in a 38-year-old woman, highlighting infertility risks.
Genital tuberculosis is a rare but significant cause of infertility and chronic pelvic disease, particularly in countries with a high tuberculosis burden. It is often underdiagnosed due to its asymptomatic or non-specific clinical presentation. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman with a history of treated peritoneal tuberculosis, in whom ovarian tuberculosis was revealed by bilateral pyosalpinx.
