A Huge Peritoneal Inclusion Cyst Mimicking Peritoneal Tuberculosis: A Case Report

(Audio abstract generated by AI) /wp-content/uploads/sites/4//audio_abstract//openai_audio_6672a885234e1.mp3 Peritoneal inclusion cysts are uncommon abdominopelvic cysts seen in middle aged women who have abdominopelvic surgery or inflammatory disease of the pelvis. Here, we present a case of a 35 -year-old male patient with a huge peritoneal inclusion cyst which mimicked and treated as tuberculosis for two and half months after he presented with progressive abdominal distention of 2-month duration with dull aching abdominal pain and early satiety. Later, diagnosis was made and treated with cyst excision by laparotomy and has no recurrence at nine months of follow up. A Peritoneal inclusion cyst can occur in a middle-aged male with no history of abdominal surgery or trauma. Peritoneal inclusion cysts are worthy to note in the differential diagnosis of abdominal mass and ascites.
