Abstract

Ovarian cancer represents the most prevalent cancer among females globally; the delayed diagnosis of the disease results from the absence of effective screening tools. Staging laparotomy represents the standard surgical procedure for ovarian cancer. Urogenital Tuberculosis (TB) is a manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), accounting for approximately 4% of reported TB cases in India, whereas EPTB constitutes 20% of TB cases globally. Approximately 50% of patients who are HIV positive have this condition. In this report, a 55-year-old patient with suspected advanced ovarian cancer underwent staging laparotomy and received a pathological diagnosis of genital and peritoneal tuberculosis (TB).
